Even the stars don't glow forever

I wish I had said this to you,
When I had a chance to do so.
Nobody has all the time in the world.
Forever, even the stars don’t glow.

I wish I had caught you before,
When you turned and disappeared around the moon.
Giving me one last look which implied:
“When you have something to say, say it soon.”

All the while, we were dancing in such a noise,
I never really could finish what I was saying.
Tried to talk to you, but then you hushed me;
Always getting away from me, always moving and swaying.

All the time, holding your hand,
Side by side, I was running along with you.
Yet could never turn towards you and whisper;
The three magic words in your ear: “I love you”.

When you were flying away to the other galaxy,
I realized with horror, it was time to say goodbye.
Never could figure out how it happened;
How those precious little moments slipped by.

I wish I had said this to you,
When I had a chance to do so.
Nobody has all the time in the world.
Forever, even the stars don’t glow.
