Meteor

Once upon a time
A girl gave a boy a star
One that fell from afar

She said to him
You are unique.
And he replied
With a cowardly sigh.

She said to him
You are written in the stars.
And he replied
With a mumbling sound.

I gave you endless wishes 
She said to him
Never again search the heavens 
For a falling star

And all he said to her:
“I wish you kept it instead”
And with a whispering sound she said:
“I wish we never met”

And still
I gave a boy a star…
