Love Poem: Shall I--Must I

Shall I--Must I

Shall I compare you to a star,
the brightest in the nighttime sky?
Must I admire you from afar
while time so precious rushes by?

Will I forever wonder why
my heart bears harsh rejection’s scar,
or will you someday venture nigh
and taste how sweet my kisses are?
