Shooting Star

The stars are so bright.
They remind me of you.
You always made my day happy.
You were the shooting star I wished on, I just know it.

We had so many good times together.
We danced without music.
We sung songs that had no lyrics.
We didn't care what other people thought.
They looked at us like we were from a different planet.
So what if we were?
We never cared.

You always made me notice the little happy thing in life.
Whenever I was around you, all the stress, the sadness, everything. Went away.
How did you do it?
How did you make me so happy?
How did you make it seem like there was never anything bad in the world?
I don't know how you did it. But you did.

You laughed at me when I told you I thought you were a shooting star that had fallen to earth.
It was that laugh that made the sun come out.
The laugh that sounded like a million birds.
The laugh that only you let me hear.

I'm here to say thank you.
Thank you for coming to me when I needed you most.
Thank you for being real and not another figment of my imagination.
Thank you for always sticking by me.
I'm forever grateful to you.
And happy.
Sitting here with you in the grass.
Watching the shooting stars in the sky fly by.
