Starlight

Author's Note: Haven't written this kind of poem in forever. @_@ Anyway. So yeah. XD First rhyming poem in...so long.
///
We used to dance
along the streets at night
and I remember how
you'd hold me in your arms
under the brilliant starlight.
And you knew you had a smile
that put every star to shame
And so you spun me along
and we glided those roads
and your voice played
[deceptive] melodies with my name.

And we defied the dreams
that drifted in the velvet dark
and you easily made me believe
in wishes made on falling stars.
We moved like shadows,
and we had raced against the time
and darling, I felt we could beat it
when your hand was still in mine.

We ran until we couldn't breathe,
and our steps started to collide.
The universe' rules didn't matter
and we did all we could.
And darling, it's just disappointing
how you never lived up
to anything I thought you would.

And it lasted until we watched
with cold fingers and blank eyes
the sunrise they all loved so much
You had told me we could beat time
and I guess believed you,
without really knowing why.

Sunlight never quite compared
to the glimmers of wishes and promises
that were always more than just flame.
And I had tried to hold on
until the last of that slowly breaking day.
But flames can't stay blazing
and moondust only lasts so long.

We thought we could break every rule
but I guess the universe proved us wrong.

[They used to say
we were an unlikely miracle
but darling they didn't understand
that under this starlight
anything could have looked beautiful.]
