Before Romeo and Juliet
Rose and Jack
And all the other lovers that did not end up
There was Altair and Vega
Their story may not have bathed in blood
It’s still agonizing as much
Two fated soul
Met an unforgiving wrath
Suffered under the rules of sky
Forbidden love by the empyrean
Star-crossed lovers indeed
Both were galad in the heavens
Made the galaxy a lot brighter
The two may be in the same sky
Still, they couldn’t be together
River of stars separated them
Their love’s promise must have touched the gods
Each year, on the 7th night of the 7th moon
A bridge of stars brought the two closer
A dawn for them to mark the end of an epoch
One night to ease their year long sorrow
One night to live again
Just one night to feel at home
No matter how long the wait was
If the two hearts had spoken an unbreakable vow
No time, distance, nor a storm could abate their love, somehow
Vega loved no one but him
Altair stayed leal, forever somniated her
She was everything to him
Has always been and always will be
So to this day, they still live their story
