It came to pass. (It didn't come to stay.)

They sparkle in the sky

As I pass by

They are mysterious

Taunting me to come catch them

Before they dissapear

Just like you

Looking up into the sky

Reminding me of you

They capture me 

Not being able to look away

Just like you

So beautiful

Like priceless diamonds

Floating in the sky

Just like you

They take me away

They save me from dispare

Just like you

And even though 

You are not here

They keep me company

Just like you

Telling me there

Is still strength

And hope 

To face the future

In these hollow bones of mine

Just like you
