I find myself in this moment: laying here on dry grass with soft music playing in the background under a dark sky filled with hundreds of stars. Suddenly something streaks across the blanket of black; a shooting star. I squeeze my eyes shut, wishing hard with all of my might.
Wishing for you.
.
Let me ask you, is it so wrong that I wish that you were laying beside me right now?
That your sweet laugh filled the empty air around me,
and that your warm breathe tickled the side of my neck.
Is it wrong that I long to feel your hand in my own again
and for you to offer me your jacket after asking me if I'm cold?
Tell me, is it wrong that I miss how things used to be
and that I wish I could go back and tell you I didn't mean the things I said?
If I had the chance to change what had happened, I would tell you:
"I was wrong. I know now that it wasn't your fault that things got hard for the two of us and it was my fault for giving up on you so easily. It was wrong of me to make accusations out of nowhere and to move on so quickly afterwards. But you need to know that ever since you left me, the world around me has crumbled down to nothing and I've suddenly become vulnerable and weak. I'm a puzzle and you're the only one who knew how to solve it. Believe me when I say that I was wrong, but we were right."
.
Now it's been months since we've spoken and things haven't been going well since I've been on my own. Still I find myself in this moment: laying here on broken grass with our song playing in the background under a brilliant night sky that's filled with a couple of shooting stars. And because it is one of those moments, I decide to bring out what little hope I have left for this world and I squeeze my eyes shut, wishing for you with all of my heart.
And when I open them again, there you are,
laying beside me.
...
So this was just a little something cute I felt like writing because I often have "moments" like this and I believe in making wishes on birthday candles, 11:11, and shooting stars because I've learned that hope can do some pretty incredible things if you let it.
