The Star I Longed For

I stood outside one night staring up into the sky- at was once the only beauty I felt existed in this life. To my surprise a star began to shine liike I've never seen a star shine before. This star was a one and only of its kind and I knew that the moment I saw it. I was amazed and went out every night to witness its beauty. There were some nights it never came out and I would go inside feeling somewhate empty and wondering to myself why? Why would it suddenly disappear and leave me to look up at all the other ordinary stars? I just didn't understand. Until one night, unexpectedly it wasn't a star that appeared. They were your eyes and in your eyes I saw that star I so very longed for. I saw how it never stopped shining and how it only went away fro a short while just to burn brighter for me. I saw how this beautiful star will always be there for me. All I have to do is look into beautiful eyes.
