A Star and a Wave

You are a star,
A star that is not reachable that
Twinkles far far away.
I hold you in my hands, as if you are in my reach,
But I know you are burning light-years away from me,
Untouched by my grasp

You are a wave,
A wave that comes and goes,
Grows and shrinks.
Making swooshing sounds that only you can make
And a conch shell can mimic
I hug you with my arms
But as the tides get bigger and smaller
I know you are not the same wave as I hugged at first

But then again,
You are a star
Light-years above me.
You might not know I am here
Watching your brilliance.
You might think you are the only one burning.
So here I am
Burning a candle light-years below you
So as to say
You are not alone.

But then again,
You are a wave
Growing and shrinking.
You might not be the same wave that I hugged at first
But you are a wave; I am me
And I wet my feet in your ebb and flow
So as to say
I am here with you too.
