Love is A Constant

Love is a constant

and you were a shooting star

lived out in a blink.

Caught in a world not your own.

You cannot follow,

You cannot lead.

I thought you were the north

a way to direct my path,

a light that I could carry with me.

But you left no trail

that I could see.

I can't fly away with you

I surely don't belong.

I'm searching for a familiar face

in the light I once saw.

You live in the night

much too out of sight.

Love is a constant

and you were a shooting star

disappearing in a blink.

Caught in a dream of your own

I didn't think I'd lose you so fast

I didn't think.
