Like a Star

She doesn’t even know that when I see her
my heart stops, my feet freeze,
and I catch my breath.

I can’t move when I’m near her;
the world is at a standstill
when I’m around her.

Every morning when she talks to me,
she lights up my face
and makes my cheeks blush
by just being in her presence
as she shines on everything.

She’s like a star,
so close but so far.
She glows brightly in my skies.
What I would do to reach her
but she’s beyond my grasp.

She doesn’t even know that when I see her
I imagine myself with her
blowing kisses and sharing hugs
because I long to be close to her.

She’s already been mine
even though I’ve never had her;
I’ve fantasized about us together
so many times it seems real.

She’s like a star,
so close but so far.
She glows brightly in my skies.
What I would do to reach her
but she’s beyond my grasp.

Paraphrase/translation of lyrics to “Esta Corbadia”. This is something I would love to have written about me.
