THE LAST STAR

There were billions of stars
Twinkling in the night's sky 
The night we met 

What a night to remember 
You standing among 
Those astronomical objects 
As you took away my breath 

Though they sparkled and glitter
Like diamonds in the sky 
It was the sapphire in your eyes 
By which I was hypnotized

I watched them twinkled 
I watched them fall
They clustered together 
Dancing like angles 
At a heavenly ball

But with all their majesty
And mystical dance
None can be compared 
To your beautiful and elegance 

For you, I'll face the fire
Endure the wrath of the gods
And stand by your side 
Until the last star fall.
