I've struggled to comprehend the reason why,
Yet, here I am, attempting not to let tears defy.
While many chase their cherished ones,
You professed love to me, a sentiment that endlessly runs.

Initially, I resisted, denied your claim,
My mind battled itself, a tumultuous game.
Eventually, surrendering, acceptance within,
Ironically, that's when your distance did begin.

It's akin to seeking a shooting star midday,
Clouds heavy with rain, emotions in disarray.
In your darkest hours, I stood by your side,
A moon to your black sky, a comforting guide.

Suddenly, stars emerged, attention astray,
Scattered across the galaxy, I became one in the fray.
Unaware, I transitioned from moon to mere mortal,
Nights filled with your lingering darkness, an emotional portal.

Each night, your presence, a haunting trace,
Yet, as I gaze upward, you're surrounded by celestial grace.
Day by day, I yearn for what once was,
A connection lost, an emotional impasse.

Perhaps your love was never truly mine,
Maybe a fear-driven declaration, a shaky line.
Confusing your need for completeness,
I believed your words, a fool in my weakness.

Blame me not, for distance is our cruel divide,
Words, my anchor, in this vast emotional tide.
Maybe it's my fault, entwined in your life too deep,
Forgetting how it felt when your presence I didn't keep.

Now, sad songs stir thoughts of you,
Movies and quotes, emotions anew.
It's incredibly tough to bid you farewell,
For how long must I love you, under this spell?

For how long must I yearn and pine,
For how long must I shed tears like the brine?
The agony lingers, a painful parting blow,
For how long must I endure, I wish to know.

For how long must I weep and sigh,
For how long must I say my goodbye?
The answer eludes, lost in a somber sky,
Perhaps I'll never know the reason why.

Yet, here I stand, beneath your vast black sky,
While you dance amid stars, I can only cry.
