Saw you close, yet you ventured far, The smile I gave vanished, lost beneath the star. Denied each fall, to shield you from my fray, Your purity clashed with my tainted array.
In dreams, we danced, you and I entwined, Yet waking moments shattered, leaving me behind. Now the question looms, how do I break this tether? You moved on swiftly, can you teach me, whether?
Or else, I fear I’ll drown in this sea of rue, If only I could rewind, be distant, be untrue. All I yearn now is for your lips to meet mine, But that wish remains a whisper, a forlorn line.
Unlike tales of old, he fell first but she fell harder, in this silent plea.
