Star-crossed Lovers

I still look at the stars

         just to remind myself that once upon a time,
there had been you and me 

                     beneath the glittering sky,
you and me--us making a rhyme.

And because the stars were there,

         I knew it was real,
But tomorrow their flickering lights 

                     will soon fade,
And just like them--the stars--

                you and me and "us" are ephemeral.
