Your star may be gone from my sky,
But my dear,
Your brilliance never dies.

A scar of darkness left behind
Because, my dear,
I called your love a lie.

You held my hand and danced with me.
You touched deeply into my soul.
Your lips felt like home.

You brought to me
Most wonderful dreams,
But I could never believe.

What would an angel like you
Desire to do with me?

Even as the seasons changed,
You did not abandon me.
You refused to fade.

Time and again, you'd visit me
And remind me of your affection
Though I could never understand.

You'd affirm my way of thinking.
You'd heal my heart and mind
From previous abuses of their kind.

Alas, you could not save me
From my darkness and insecurity.

In a moment of weakness,
I lashed out at you with disbelief
Until you gave up on me.

Your absence has haunted me ever since,
But who could blame you?
You poured into me
Your hopes and dreams.
You spoke to me with profound kindness
When there was no need.
You gave me so much of your time and energy,
Even when we didn't speak.

And for my lack of belief,
All I could ever give you
Was muffled affection and misery.

I've sent you apology after apology,
But it's too late.
The damage is done.
You will not have me.

Just as I was about to believe,
I let my fear win,
And now, I might never
Give you all of me.

(You may have loved me.
I may have loved you,
And now, we'll never know.)

Even as the clouds roll in,
My dear, you still remain.
You are my rain.
As much as you have been my pleasure,
You are also my pain.

Even then, to me,
Your brilliance never dies.
