Shooting Stars

Shooting stars are things often spoken about
But very rarely seen
They shoot across the sky
And only the privileged few catch a glimpse
You hear stories of how people have seen them
Or people know people who have seen them
Or very nearly saw a shooting star themselves once
Once in a lifetime

Its very much like love
People know that it exists
They tell stories about OTHER people they know
Who are in love
And how they very nearly fell in love themselves once
Once in a lifetime

I have both. I have true love, and a shooting star

But my star continues to shine, it lights my horizon, my days, my nights
My star is my love
And I want to shine with him
Because this is real
This is forever
This is once
Once in a lifetime
