I waited waited patiently
for you to come
come to me

i sat aside
and watied there
waiting with
your image in my mind

but you did not come
never did arive
i waited there
watching high

for you to come
to me fly,
up in the sky
up so high

as the stars
like you do shine
waited there
arrive you mine

as the twilight faded
my hopes fell
like the brighest of stars
who die

looking up
i rememberd why
the sadness comes
when stars die.

when you see them twinkle
remember this
they are all already gone
the afterimage in our minds
is all we see.
is it the same
twixt you and me?

is what i seek,
what for I wait,
nothing but an afterimage?
something that no longer exists?

I sit here saddened
wondering why
peering up
at lost night sky
wishing you
would come to me
sit here beside
under this tree

the petals fall
as do my tears
remembering you
through all my years..
