A Star From Afar

"A boy in his youth, so smitten and bold,
Felt his heart race, as her story he told.
A girl he admired, from afar he'd glance,
A chance to approach her, he eagerly took the chance.

With nerves aflutter, he mustered his nerve,
Hoping to impress, hoping to serve.
But in the end, it wasn't meant to be,
Their paths diverged, and their love failed to see.

Now he watches from afar,
Her beauty still shines like a star.
Though they were not meant to be,
He treasures her memory, and the joy that she brought him to see.

He sees her laugh, and he sees her smile,
From a distance, but still worthwhile.
And though his heart aches, he knows it's right,
To hold onto the memory, and not take up the fight.

For sometimes in life, love is not enough,
And it's best to let go, and not be tough.
So he keeps her in his heart, and in his sight,
Knowing that what's meant to be will be, and he'll find his own light."
