Beautiful Torture

I looked up the sky and saw the star

Enchanted, mesmerized by its sparkling glory

Longing to touch it, hold it

Trace the outlines of its beautiful shape with my fingers

Even for just a night... just one night.

It's torture.

I looked out my window and saw the butterfly

Flapping its beautiful wings round a flower

Kissing, caressing those delicate petals

Oblivious of my yearning to take its wings and make it mine

Even for just a day... just one day.

It's torture.

I look from afar and I see your beauty

A star that I want to reach and hold

For just a night... just one night

If only the butterfly could lend me its wings

Even for just a day... just one day

And end this torture.
