Long Lost Star

It's another morning of waking up 
with your shadow in my memory 
like a ghost that hunts my thoughts 
from dusk till dawn. 

I should forget you, but I could not,
for, you're like an unfinished melody 
that echoes on the empty stage of my heart, 
that left without finishing your song. 

I still remember when our days were young,
when you asked me to walk with you 
on an uphill trail, but I refused, because,
I could not match your gleaming glow. 

You were like a diamond under the sun,
shining so brightly against my somberness,
leaving my heart stunned until these days, 
thinking if I was right to drift away from the luster of your charm. 

*For Janet, my long lost star*
