Meteor
Once upon a time
A girl gave a boy a star
One that fell from afar
She said to him
You are unique.
And he replied
With a cowardly sigh.
She said to him
You are written in the stars.
And he replied
With a mumbling sound.
I gave you endless wishes
She said to him
Never again search the heavens
For a falling star
And all he said to her:
“I wish you kept it instead”
And with a whispering sound she said:
“I wish we never met”
And still
I gave a boy a star…
