i've slept through one a.m.
and the sky fell.
i tried to make it sound so beautiful three times before
but i made it ugly.

at dawn,
when the skies turn pink,
i hope to see another shooting star.

i hope now i can wish something useful like,
"i wish for world peace!
to end poverty!
to control our overpopulation problem!
to get rid of our carbon footprint forever!
to end global warming!
to end discrimination!"

but i know if i had saw another one,
truly,
i'd still have wished for your eyes.
or your chest,
your heart,
specifically.
maybe your laugh.

but never

fully

you.

stupid, selfish me. i always want. i always want
what i can't have.

i always want.
