She shines like a star, high above me. A new constellation that only I see.
She dazzles the heavens, filling them with light,
Yet how I wish I may and wish I might,
I cannot touch my star tonight.

Through my scope I gaze, transfixed below,
Marveling at her celestial glow.
I keep her secret,
Safe and sound.
Not telling of the jewel I've found.

For if I share my glowing star,
Others will come from near and far.
To gaze upon her for themselves
And put my scope upon the shelves.

My star shines bright,
Her own constellation.
I study her with concentration.
I love the star, but deep inside,
I know she'll never be my bride.

For mortals cannot marry stars
Nor share with them our battle scars.
We cannot grow old, holding hands,
Nor walk across the ancient lands.

Leo, Virgin, all the rest,
Welcome now the bright Princess.
She smiles gayly from the skies,
Unknowing of tears in my eyes.

Stargazing was fun while it lasted,
But perhaps I should have fasted.
Saved myself the ache and pain,
Of watching others call her name.

Alas, the time at last has come,
To sit in darkness, cold and numb.
My scope is gone and smashed to bits,
But in the heavens the Princess sits.

Her position is fixed in my mind,
Seated there for all of time.
Never lover, distant friend,
Shine upon me 'til my end.
