I, a star, am shining brilliantly,
quietly penetrating endless night.
Yet, because I’m a lone island in the
dark, I seek, like myself, another star.
I only wish to relate and share what
I observe, affixed here above the world.
Really, I suppose I just want a friend.
.
Light-years away, I think I see a star,
silently shimmering just like me! But,
when I freely ask if she will gleam with
me back, she says no; she prefers sparkling
solo. So, reluctantly, I let her
go. Nonetheless, if she ever chose to
shine with me, I would happily agree.
