LUMINOUS STARYou came running to me at sunset
Your face streaked with tears
I reached for your hand while you wept
Your eyes red with sadness and fear
I didn't dare asked what happened
I was afraid to take the risk
I waited for your trembling voice
As the air doubted with mist
You told me that you love her
You told me that you care
You just couldn't take the hurt
The pain was too much to bear
But she love somebody else you know
Someone you can never be
There's nothing you can do
But your heart couldn't set her free
You said, there'll never be another
But you couldn't let her know
It's not worth the loss of her friendship
You're afraid to let it show
Tears started welling again
It's too much of burden
You asked for my strongest advice
As you watched with hopeful eyes
I looked at you with understanding
A turmoil in my heart
My hands pressed yours with sympathy
My feelings were torn apart
"Wait for tonight," I told you gently
"And try to stare afar,
Look at the luminous sky above,
And wish her name on a star
All you can do is wait and see
You'll know if she's here to stay
If she doesn't, then turn your back
And be ready to face the coming day
I know it will hurt, the wound will be deep
But time heals, it doesn't stay long
Just remember that the scar will always be there
To remind you of a past long gone."
Your face lit up
I couldn't help but smile
Ignoring the turmoil inside
You saw light, hope spitting the dark
As you bade a grateful goodbye
As I watch you walked away
Still hoping you would hear
I wept in silence as I stood outside
My eyes red with sadness and fear
The sunset has passed, twilight is here
I tried to stare afar
Looking at the luminous sky above
And wished your name on a star...
