He hides his goodbyes
In her hellos
Never revealing
What she already knows
And as the days continue
And the months turn to years
She blossoms for him
Increasing his fears
For he knows the cost
Of true love upon a soul
And if he loses her now
He’ll never feel whole
So he hides his feelings
As best he can
Hopeful that someday
She’ll understand

The stars stood on standby
Each one wordlessly waiting for a sign
To move their fixed positions
And finally realign
Yet the gesture never came
And so they kept their rooted stances
Waiting in anticipation
For a word from the far expanses
Cynicism made them grow dim
And caused some to fall from the heavens
And those are the few
Who have left considerable impressions
The remainder still wait
In a state of restless apprehension
Biding their time
In the hopes of a fourth dimension
