When a star flies across the night sky,
what does one wish for?
Supernatural strength,
the ability of flight?
All the money in the world,
or infinite wisdom.
Does one wish to meet their true love.
Does one wish a love back to life.
Does one wish one dead.
One can wish for many things.
But, I wouldn't wish for something.
I'd wish, to see something.
I'd wish that after my passing,
I could see the thoughts and feelings of those closest to me.
To see if I can sleep in peace.
To see if I'll die with my regret.
Not to see if I've gained love.
But have lost it.
