It Could Have Been a Perfect Night

A while ago, this place was full of fireflies

The stars were brightly playing with their lights
The moon was peacefully showing its elegance
Then there was a breath-taking spectacle..


Brilliant lights were shooting from all directions
It was a magnificent display of fireworks
Then I realized, it was so much better
They were stars; A meteor shower is happening


I was like a child clapping my hands in delight
And fireflies were swarming above my head
They were dancing the rhythm of the falling stars
I lazed on the soft grass fixing my sight above


I would have loved to see the glow in your eyes
Sharing this splendid spectacle with me
Then we would talk about happy thoughts
Our laughter will be the music for the fireflies


But all of these were but hopeless thoughts
My sadness and my anticipation for your presence
Is enough for me to leave the joyous fireflies
To leave the festive meteor shower..


Everything was perfect on our meeting place
sad to say, you did not come..
