When I wished for us upon a shooting star,
I wonder where it went?
Do you know what a shooting star is?
A clump of dust
That's all that falls from the sky
But dust gives birth to trees
Do you remember the trunks we carved our names into?
I wish we had held onto eachother the way the roots of those trees held onto the ground
Our names, once a lover's poem
Became nouns decorated into bark
