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.
