[poetry] a little piece from the heart

shooting star

remember the night
we witnessed a shooting star?
the star's light lighted your face
and you were closing your eyes
wishing for something
I wouldn't know
or dare to ask about

I could see your perfect profile side
I couldn't put into words
how attractive it was
I was too stunned to speak
my heart out of my wishes
but I hoped that at the absolute least
I may be included in one of your wishes

as you asked what I was wishing for
I remained silent
never in a million years
would I tell that you are my wish

and I am so glad
you have a better understanding of me
and an adequate respect for me
that you believe I kept it hidden from you

though that that wasn't exactly
a closely guarded secret
it was just something
I wouldn't tell you
unless you are mine
