Bright shining star

I always saw you as a star—
bright, untouchable, burning softly
in a sky I could never reach.

I knew my place was distance,
that all I could do was watch you
from far below,
learning your light by heart.

I knew the chances of you
falling back in love with me
were impossible—
a wish with no gravity.

And still, I was happy.

Because you were the light
that guided me through dark hours,
the quiet glow that helped me survive
each day's battle
without knowing my name.

You never belonged to me,
and I never asked you to fall.
It was enough to know
that somewhere above,
you were shining—
and for a while,
that was enough
to keep me going.
