Shooting Stars?

I’ll follow you
Across the sky
Your trail of light reflected in my black, black eyes
Give the moon a run for her money
She can’t compete
For a moment you’re a glimmer of hope
The cloud’s silver lining
Reappear on the other side
Another case of mistaken identity?
I’ll crash back down to reality.
To the same scenario, again:
A plane mistaken for a shooting star
A shooting star mistaken for a chance

Really enjoyed your poem & loved your last two lines. Maybe I should have, but I didn't see what was coming, it was a nice twist for me.
