Under The Stars

It's night, I step out
To gaze at the pinpricks
Blazing in the dark sky.

It's night, I step out,
Out of my isolation
To seek you out
Among the multitude of stars
In strife with the dark.

But I'm lost! There are so many!
Which one is you, I wonder?

I'm lost! so I wait
In the hope that you will come to me instead;
Fall out of the sky like a shooting star,
Drop down next to me,
Incinerate my loneliness.

And so I wait until the light of day grows,
Until one-by-one it smothers the twinkling fairies,
Until its time to step back into isolation.

And when the day grows old and turns into night,
I'll step out again,
Under the pinpricks blazing in the dark sky,
To wait for you, won't you come?
So alone...
