i told the stars about you
and they smiled
blinking, brilliant against the bright
is he as beautiful as us?
they asked.
more so,
i said.
is he worth falling for?
before i could hesitate
my tongue,
still drunk with the taste of your lips,
said yes.

and so i fell
in love-
out of the sky-
hurtling from the heavens
a falling star.
i hoped you'd be at the bottom
to catch me
