Shooting Star

Should I reach for the sky and catch this shooting star,

As she charily sheds her dainty white light?

 

Should I sail the seas without her treasure map,

And infinitely lose myself in her brown eyes?

 

Should I grapple her love, reach for the heart in sight,

And touch the beautiful flame of her candlelight?

 

Should I reach for the sky and catch this special star,

Even though all she might do is burn my fragile heart?

Very well done. Questions so many face when unsure of the feelings they start to feel for another!
