Up above you, in the heavens when the sun decides to sleep, stars awaken and beam with joy. Some move across the sky, shooting stars. Looking up as a child you would close your eyes and make a wish on that star. Wanting with your whole being for it to come true. But as an adult you're told that it won’t come true. That it’s only a wish. No star can make it come true. Yet we still find ourselves wishing on that falling star, praying to it as if it was god, to make our dreams come true.
