Shooting Stars

One night
I sat under the sky
Looking up at the stars
That reminded me so much
Of your joy-filled eyes
That was when
A star fell down from above
For a second I thought
I'd seen your face in it
But a blink later
You were gone
It seemed
An angel had fallen
Something so sad
Looked so beautiful
And a picture appears in my mind
Of tears leaving your eyes
And it somehow looks so much alike
