Original writing to "Comet In My Sky"

This is how "Comet In My Sky" began - it was originally written in my journal. Here are the word for word from the text:

Like a comet in the great sky, you pass by, lighting up my night with your presence. Even the stars stop to watch as you overshadow them with your brilliance. What a mere mortal like me could do is only see you from afar and delight in your coming. Never be able to touch and feel you. However human you state you are, you will never be JUST mere mortal to me. Partly immortalized, you are idolized by millions throughout the night. A star in your own right, never an ordinary star - and not just a shooting star. Love, you could never find from the one who sees you as who you really are. Shadow of doubts hangs like a cloud. Like a meteor falling down to Earth, it is a million to one when you finally finds a person to fall on. "Bagai bulan jatuh ke riba."

And the more macabre picture in a poem:

Meteor showers in the night
I stood alone in the empty fields
Raining me with light
I don't care if I die tonight

Here it's just me and the stars
Nobody else, just darkness and meteors
Somehow it gave me comfort
Holding me in its embrace

I can't feel myself tonight
I lost all my will to feel
Silent starry eyes watch my plight
On my wrist a thin blade of steel

You are the love I could never find
Never could have, never to hold
Like a comet brilliant in the night
The stars itself it overshadowed

I'm just a mere mortal
Looking up into the sky
I found you, now I'm a fool
For falling in love with a jewel

You are a star in your own right
Not just a star nor a shooting star
You are a comet encircling my universe
Teasing me with untouchable presence

Here, now in the dark fields
Silent tears and silent screams
I bid farewell to the stars
Bid them to watch over you wherever you are

For my arms will never reach you
Never could feel you
Never could know you
Never protect you

My final wish tonight
When this world fades from my sight
May I be turned to light
And be a star at night

This way I could be with you
Forever watching over you
Guiding you
And keep you...
