... you
--------------------------------
a stargazing lily with its elegance in hand
commanding the world, the best that it can
with grace and beauty, it was sure to win
but one detail was overlooked...
it had yet to meet you.

its match met...
it relents its commanding title to the one that has dazzeled them all...
a new reason to gaze longingly towards the stars...
the hope that one day, one could win your heart

so, as you sit there
gazing into the stars.
think of me... from afar
and then realize that it is really me, who is gazing at the stars...
looking up at you... silently hoping that it was I that had your heart.
