Your Starlight

Your Starlight:

Climbing up the steep slope
Completely enveloped in summer
Night's warm embrace
My goal silhouetted against the moon

The Withered old tree stood
Covered in the scars of forgotten promises
Placing a hand on the old bark
I remove a pocketknife into my hand

Staring at the blank spot
I recall memories from my life,
My first steps, my first Dance
My first Love, My first broken heart.

The tears come before I can stop them
Even now the scars still hurt
Clenching my fist I closes my eyes
Trying to contain the pain

Suddenly I feel a pair of arms
Wrap around my shoulders
Opening an eye I saw
Arms made of starlight

Turning 'round I saw him
My star, the only one who cared
I hadn't spoken to him since I was young
But that didn't matter to him

He smiled and hugged me again,
"Do not worry." He whispered into my ear
"Though you've grown, I'll still be here."
He held onto my shoulder and smiled at me

I said with more tears than ever
"How can you still care? I almost forgot you were there!"
My star wiped away my tears and smiled
"It doesn't matter. So long as you're here..."

My star then kissed my lips
Ever so gently, but it was enough
To dry my tears
"I'll always be you Starlight."

He then faded away as the
Dawn broke over the mountain
His words echoed in my ears
"I'll Always be your Starlight"
