Star Crossed Couple

In a tapestry of night, their fates entwined, 
Two souls aglow, in love's celestial bind. 
He, a comet blazing 'cross the midnight sky, 
She, a meteor, on a parallel course nearby. 

They met in solemn moment, 'neath the lunar gleam, 
Their love, with promised dream. 
Whispers of longing in the night's embrace, 
hearts sparkled with joy in heavenly chase.

The two strangers, they met on that life's road,
Forsaking everyone they had in this world,
For love had bound them, yet torn them apart,
Two star-crossed lovers, with aching heart.

They traced the galaxies, seeking a way, 
To bridge the vast chasm that kept them at bay. 
But the stars, indifferent, continued to gleam, 
As they watched two lovers trapped in a cosmic scheme.

In the cosmos, their love became a myth, 
Two star-crossed lovers, their spirits adrift. 
For even in the vastness of the endless night, 
Their love still shines, a brilliant, distant light.
