I caught sight of you, blurry and distant. My heart jumped as you hurtled towards me, growing brighter. I wished on you, watching you streak across the sky in a blaze of light, flames dancing at your feet. I wished on you with all my heart, pouring years of sadness and longing into you. And for a moment, just a moment, I swear I saw you change course. My eyes wide, heart lighter than ever, I watched you fall down. Towards me.
In that moment, something changed in me. I felt as though I was there with you, dancing among the stars. Sitting at the center of an inferno raging around us, hurtling towards some unknown location. It felt like home, like I finally belonged.
It must have been a trick of the light. You continued on your path, unflinching, unwavering. I forced a smile, my eyes tearing, as I watched you cascade into the horizon. You were gone, perhaps before I had even met you.
