Shooting Star

Shooting Star

Shooting star, I see you go far, and further taking my dreams.
The light of the sun is too bright, too strong for my timid hopes.
Only in the moonlight and the starlight I can open my eyes,
Look around, and find my way over the hills, down the slopes.

I can remember how your touch felt, how it made me melt.
I long for it, but feel trapped between dream and reality.
Was it a mistake, was I so wrong about what I felt?...
The way you were, the way I could see your fragility.

Time passes, and now I only see reflections of what it was.
I miss the past, dwell on old feelings and wish them back.
I question my actions, blame myself, my own old flaws.
Wanting to make a wish, I look for that shooting star.
