Forever June

viii. rewrite the stars

i walk down from the cliff
to stand at the edge of the sea.

i once swore to the moon
that i would always be here,
but i wasn't there
when you were broken.
i couldn't save you.

waves come crashing down
as mist cools my face.
looking up at the sky,
i watch a shooting star streak past.
it's too late to hope now.

you were a star too,
falling to make someone's wishes come true.
