My Shooting Star

Published on 5 March 2017 at 06:52

I can see countless stars in your eyes,

and your smile’s what keeps my heart alive.

How you see me, in every which way,

is why I love you—each and every day.

And there’s not a moment that ever goes by

where I’d rather call someone else mine.

Unfortunately for you, you’re stuck with me,

even if I am weird, or strange, or a little quirky.

At least I am real, and my words are true,

in which case I am happy to tell you

that I love you, and all that you are—

and in my universe, you are my shooting star.
