A Wish The Stars Can't Grant.

I'm distracted by the stars,
They remind me of,
You.
They remind me of,
The time we were lying on that bench,
Staring up at the stars,
As they stared back down at us.
And our eyes left the sky,
To our sides,
To each other's eyes,
And we smiled.
Then our lips collided,
In a picture ten times more beautiful then the stars;
In a melody sweeter than any song;
In a moment I could only beg to last forever;
Even if I knew it never would,
There were always the stars above to wish upon.
The same stars that I'm looking at now,
As I walk home from your arms;
Walking home from your embrace yet again,
The warm one I couldn't let go of.
I wished on the stars again tonight,
When I was standing there holding you,
I wished that you would hold me again,
And again;
Like you used to.
I wished that I could have another moment,
Gazing up at the stars with you,
But why do I know this will never happen?
How do I know the stars won't grant my wish?
Because they never granted my first,
That moment never lasted,
And it still doesn't.
It was a wish I could never have,
You are a wish I could never keep.
A wish not even the stars could bring me.
That moment is just a memory;
Another reason to never wish again,
Even though I will,
A million more times,
On a million more stars,
And I don't doubt,
That my wishes will be about you.
You're a wish the stars can't grant me.
Even though I wish they would.
