Shooting Star in the October Sky
By Elizabeta
October 9, 2000

A star fell from the sky
I made a wish as it went by
A few weeks later, I met you
A wish came true
that cold October night
when I looked to the sky
You lit up my life
like a shooting star in the night
with your funny jokes and quirky ways
I wonder what you're doing today
It's been five years since I last saw you
Have you changed?
Do you still remember my name?
Our acquaintanceship was brief
Quick as a shooting star in the October sky
Turned around and you had already zoomed by
but sometimes, during this time of year,
I look up to the night sky
and imagine you're near instead of far
But there's always the next meteor shower
then I can wish for dozens of things
to see you again or someone like you
Who knows what the skies might bring?
