The twinkling star in the sky

*twinkles* and says to me:

You’ve loved so many people

In your life. Do you love me?

I say,

To the twinkling star

In the sky:

Long after

I’ve lived and loved…

When I die,

I’ll come hovering to you,

And ask you:

Do you remember me?!

If not, don’t forget

The many nights,

When you *twinkled* in the sky

And made me want to live…

When all I wanted, was to die.

How your sweetness made me

Smile :) and made my tears dry.

Whenever I felt low,

I just had to look out of the window,

You uplifted me high -

And made my spirits fly!

So my friend, now I’ve left behind

My loved ones to be with you…

My soul shining through you,

To say: Yes, you are the one

Who loved me all through,

So why shouldn’t I ?!

Friends are forever,

They always live together

Even after they die,

They never say goodbye!
