Poem: My Star

If only I knew last February during a cold, wintery night would have been the last time I saw you,


I would have told you how much I look up to you And told you how much I love you


And given you an extra long, tight hug


Many nights I have cried, wishing you were here

Many nights I have spent wondering why I could not have one more day, birthday, or holiday with you

And how I miss you and your smile and your laugh


Every room was gray and dull until you entered But now that you are gone, it is my life that is gray and dull


And I miss when you and I would spend hours staring at the nighttime sky
Looking at the stars and trying to name every constellation we could


And Iโ€™d like to think you are now one of those stars looking down on me
Maybe one day when I pass away, I can join you in one place we both loved


But until then, I will look up and find the brightest star
And it will remind me even though you are no longer here,


You reside in the nighttime sky, shining with great luminosity


As I remember you are my star
