The Stars Can’t Compare
I saw fifty shooting stars last night, and in the few seconds I saw each, I gave each a name. Not once did your name enter my mind. It probably did, but I did not see you in them.
Their beauty lasted only a second, their impression on me was not great, my love for them was not large, my feelings for them were not there. They were dead. They had left my life after entering without a moment’s notice, and they left the same way.
I did not miss them. I rarely even think of them. I obviously do though.
I wrote, then read my words, and I found them relatively honest. And I asked myself, “So, what do you think? I mean they weren’t even stars.”
