In The Stars

We were just kids with a sky full of fire

Hearts drawn in notebooks, dreams climbing higher

You said, “Someday, we'll light up the stage”

With voices like thunder and stars on our name

You reached for the heavens, so fearless, so bold

While I stood behind you, too scared to let go

But you turned and smiled, hand in the air—

"We'll meet where the lights paint the midnight fair."

But the world took you faster than fate could decide

Now I sing in the silence where your echo hides

We promised to shine, to be more than the scars

To be someone’s moonlight, someone’s north star

But you’re gone, and I’m lost in the dark of your dream

Still chasing a shadow where you used to be

You wrote me a letter the night you first flew

“No matter how far, I’ll come back to you”

I kept every word, stained in my tears

Reading your voice through the ache of the years

Your photo still sits by my old windowpane

Where we whispered our hopes like soft summer rain

You danced in the fire, I watched from afar

Now I carry your name in the beat of my heart

But the world took you faster than fate could decide

Now I sing in the silence where your echo hides

We promised to shine, to be more than the scars

To be someone’s moonlight, someone’s north star

But you’re gone, and I’m lost in the dark of your dream

Still chasing a shadow where you used to be

If I close my eyes, I can still hear your tune

Like wind through the curtains or whispers of June

“Don’t stop, don’t break, make it for me”

So I sing your promise to the galaxy

You’re the star that they see when they look at the sky

While I carry the fire you left in my life

We promised to shine, to be more than the scars

So I’ll be the echo, you’ll be the star

You’re gone, but you shine in the dreams that remain

And I’ll keep your light burning through all of the pain

"We’ll meet where the lights paint the midnight fair..."
