Stars

You shone for me tonight.

You sent your iridescent  rays of magic from billions of miles away just to say.......

You know, I've been talking to you for my whole life, asking for the same thing.

And 19 months ago our one-sided conversations got just a bit more specific.

I thought that maybe we had a bad connection for a while, 

all those unidentified flying wish killers and martians getting in the way.

But then I assumed you were just ignoring me, 

a little insignificant child in a world full of significance.

It hurt, but I understood.

However, tonight you finally sent your response.

I saw your words glinting an unmistakable
  yes,
exploding with shooting stars.

They were even visible through the clouds that tried to mask your brilliance.

And the following raindrops?

Blessings straight from heaven,

Dousing me with stardust and peace and glimmers of hope

and washing away the fear and darkness.

I used to be jealous of the girls who had a fairy godmother.

Now I realize that I've got millions of them. 

All it ever takes is a wish.
