Do You Remember?

do you remember that night
under the stars
when you whispered
in my ear;
i was the only girl for you,

that i was
a gift from god
that you wished for,
the brightest star
sent down from the night sky
to be with you.

you told me that night
that i was your one and only
the definition of beauty
the perfect girl

what happened
that tainted the love
that inspired happiness,
that ensured trust?

what happened
that dazed the image
of your perfect girl?

do you whisper
in her ear
that she is
a gift from god
that you wished for;
the brightest star
sent down from the night sky
to be with you?

You told me that night
That we were forever;
We were stars.

Now that you’re gone,
Maybe I’ll be sent back up
To the glittering night sky
To be with real stars
Who can never lie
And love me for me,
Until the day my light goes out;
Until the day I die.
