Leonids

I just saw a shooting star
about ten of them in fact
ten wishes
like a birthday cake when I was ten
When I was ten
When I thought all my futures were golden
When I dreamed of you
To talk to someone like you
I blew and made a wish on my tenth birthday
A kindred spirit arrives by shooting star
Hopes of dreams that never end
Dreams of stars
Eyes of blue
Me and you
Doubts were inconceivable
Impossible because of magic
Life would never let me down
Not with all this magic
Mom knows everything
And I'm gonna live forever
I can't imagine when I'm as old as I'm going to get
I can't imagine that I won't remember this
though now I can't remember anything
except pictures of places, scattered
my mind's eye as complacent as
the other two
dark, gray, cold, alone
different
unsure
afraid
weak
me
you
Now
Alive
endless possibilities
Dreams exploding, happening
There for the taking
Confidence comes from somewhere dark and unfamiliar
Out of nowhere it comes
The cavalry rides in and saves the day
the bugles stop blowing
and the horses stop for a second
No more noise
In the sky, or in my head either
I look up
see the shooting stars
and make a wish that only comes true
in a dream
of you
these dreams i have of you
I so desperately wanted you to have of me
