i saw a shooting star tonight.

it wasn't anything spectacular,
just a small flash against an otherwise
motionless sky.
you looked at me,
smiling,
and said
make a wish                    
but i knew any wish i could think of
would never come true,
so i sufficed to lay my head back on
your chest, saying
i already did                    
and dream all the wishes i could
ever wish
to life,
under those
motionless stars.
