MY SHOOTING STAR

you cry yourself to sleep
& i am awake
longing to hold you close
& whisper sweet nothings
& gentle somethings
into your ear
in hopes that they
meet your heart.

when i feel so lost
i ask myself where do i go from here
but your heart calls
and i remember where i belong.
i wished upon a shooting star last night
and tonight i gaze at the moon
and i know that wherever you are
the same moon shines light on you.
