Shooting Star
Darkness has overcome me
In a cloud of shadows and hate
Sometimes I just wish I could
Curl up into a ball and wait
For as I wait in the darkness
And with each sad time I sigh
I know that deep within me
Holds the heart the belongs to that one special guy
And as I wait my body quivers of cold
Because the wait is unbearable and heavy
As it leans upon my small fragile body
And the anguish is taking over my soul
The darkness is getting closer
Like a ghost running from the gates of Black Death
Though as the darkness comes so close it is about to devour me
He steps in front of me
As though he is the strongest shield I could pray for
He drives away the darkness
And as he turns to look at me
Tears start pouring from my eyes
For all along I knew that it was him
But now I finally realize
How often he has been there for me
How much I love his laugh
How much his happiness rubs off on me
How much of my heart I have been saving
Just for him
Then the tears fall again
For thoughts of his feelings come to my head
'Perhaps he does not love me'
Is the thought I most dread
But then he looks deep into my eyes
And finally I realize
That though he is my friend
He is also the savior of my long forgotten love song
And so we sing together
The song of sheer happiness
The song the shows not just mine
But both our feelings
And as tears pour down my face yet again
And now I realize why I cry
Not for sadness, oh no, but for all the joy
The joy that he has thrust upon me
Not of sadness nor of hate
But to show me that now and forever
He will be my shield
And save me from the darkness
In which still craves me
But now as I look onto his back
As he stands as my protection
I finally grasp all the love that he has given me
Though it was not all strictly romance
He found ways now and again
Like being kind to me
Helping me and even showing me that I am wrong
And now my smile grows larger
As I watch him from afar
For now I know that I have somebody there
That I can call my Shooting Star.
