When I first saw you, you were dancing,/Night-sky Polaris, twinkling, shimmering,/A waltzing ray of light in a dark place,/“Show me the way.”

When I saw you again, I knew/That one day, a star would be born from you,/Dazzled and willing, for once, to dream,/"Promise me you'll stay."

You and I, we were like binary stars,/Dancing in that tango of ours,/For years and years, together inseparable,/I hoped it would be for forever./"Liar."

The vastness of space is lonely,/My heart belongs to you only,/I think you already know./"You're nothing but a traitor."

Your voice was music to my ears,/Yet dissonant cadences, sharp as spears,/Brought this opera to a close./The last from you I'd ever hear.

You became a star, as I thought you would,/Light-years away, you shine brightly; if I could/Only have you be close to me once more,/Have you dance for me just once more!

But for all your grace and all your moves/I know you loved me less than I ever loved you./For all your grace and all your moves,/You loved me less than I loved you.
