By the ocean's edge, where the waves gently kiss,
Sat a girl, lost in thoughts of the ones she missed.
This one star, a beacon of brilliance, burned ever so bright,
Reminding her of a soul lost, a sorrowful plight.

The boy she never knew, the one she should have seen,
Had silently suffered, until his spirit turned lean.
His existence unknown, his presence concealed,
Until the darkness consumed him, his fate was revealed.

Oh, how peculiar it seemed to feel this connection,
To be touched by a life, lost in reflection.
How fragile are the hearts that we never truly know,
Until we witness the anguish they silently bestow.
