6th January 2005

Tonight, as we sat on the swings –
grown up, but not adult,
by any means –
I looked up at the dark clear sky
and noticed two stars faintly twinkled
      above us –
one for you,
and one for me.

I made a wish upon my star
(for happiness and contentment)
and hoped you’d look up
and do the same;
but you didn’t.

It’s all right –
my wish was for the both of us,
and whatever I wish for now,
I’d wish it for you too.
