A day long ago, forgotten by many, but never by me.
Jealousy, hatred, you were forced away.
Along the skyline you flew.
Streetlamps and skylights lead your way.
A day long ago, forgotten by many, but never by me.

A planned event, destructive to all we knew.
One word and you were gone.
Not a chance was given.
A day long ago, forgotten by many, but never by me.

We wept on our knees.
Our tears soaked into material, forever staining our lives.
Our red eyes became a routine.
A day long ago, forgotten by many, but never by me.

I take the star to the right to be you,
Always the brightest among the crowd,
A bright light until it went out.
A day long ago, forgotten by many, but never by me.
