Shooting Star (based on Alice Nine's Song)




“The sound of rain goes farther away, the summer wind caresses my cheeks
Faraway in the sky, beyond the horizon, I'm thinking of you”
It was the beginning of winter, trying to open her umbrella, while waiting for the light, she saw the people walking and so did she, a car turning saw her crossing a rapidly he tried to stop and so he did but quite close, she looked quite scared, she tried to curse him but was quite scared and just looked at him with disapproval while kept walking before the light went red again. He felt quite ashamed but smiled when looking at her walking, the light went green and the horn of another car behind him remembered him that he had to continue.
“I couldn't even see your gentleness when you were near
"Once more..." I wish upon the stars that rise in your eyes”

The next day at a similar time, he decide to leave his car parked and walked towards the same street as the day before, he recognized he silhouette, the light wen red so he had to wait to reach her, the light went green and he ran towards the bus stop, it started to rain, he saw he sitting waiting he stood up next to her, a bus came and people went in, except them, she sighed, looked in her bag but didn’t found what she was looking for, he took a cigarette and searched on his pocket for the lighter, that caught her attention she looked at her bag and took a lighter which she aimed to him, he got surprise
-Thanks-
-is ok… I don’t smoke is just that I think is good to carry one just in case-
He looked quite estranged at her reaction but smiled, she was funny.
Again silence but this time she was aware of him.
-Are you waiting for the bus?-
He delayed in replying – not really my car is parked on the other street-
She looked at him surprised – then?-
-I was just following you, remember me? I almost run over you with my car-
She gave it a thought and then she remembered- ah!!! You!!!!-
Silence again and then both laughed.
-Want to go for a walk? - She asked quite nervous
-Weren’t you waiting for the bus?-
-not really…my bus already passed…I just felt like sitting here and relax and meditate what to do next-
-Then let’s go, I know a really good place close by we can have some ramen-
She smiled
“Shooting star (in starry night & starlight)
Flowing, flowing, then disappearing
Falling to where a precious person is
I close my eyes and I'm praying like a constellation in children's tales
Two stars”

They talked for hours it was like they knew each other since always; they were not strangers even when they were actually strangers.
“So that it does not become a lost child, I push aside the darkness
To send the light I was searching for to where you are
I'm running out of breath”

The time together seemed eternal, walking in the park together, meeting each other after work, during rain sharing the same umbrella, were any other happy moments like those ones?
“Shooting star (in starry night & starlight)
Flowing, flowing, then disappearing
Soaring away, carrying a precious wish
For alone, I cannot shine, I ran towards the one I love”

He arrived to his apartment and thee she was looking innocent like always, smiling to him as usual but her smile was melancholic, he comes closer worried, she shows him a letter, she had to part, leave the place and move far from him, she cried and he just held her close to him not wanting to let go.
“Be with you (Let me be with you)
Please, please, at least now
Even if it makes the clock of emptiness tick faster, I'll embrace you
So at the destination of the star, be smiling as before, darling
We were able to meet after overcoming the coldness of a freezing vacuum
Even crossing over a distance of countless lightyears”

-We will keep in touch, I will write everyday- she said
He nodded – it will be hard but I think we can do it, I don’t want to let you go- he said while giving her a soft kiss
At the airport was their good bye, not knowing if they were going to meet again, not knowing what the future might have prepared for them. Hugs and kisses were not enough and never were…
Every night she wrote to him it what at the end of the week would become a letter ready to send, at the beginning she received his replies but then she never received them, so long passed she was not brave enough to call him, there were certain words she didn’t want to hear and she preferred to keep lying to herself.

“Shooting star (in starry night & starlight)
Flowing, flowing, then disappearing
It fell from its orbit to where a precious person is
Saying "We will never be separated again"
Increased the speed, matching with my heartbeat”

Coming back from work, his apartment was dark and lonely, there was no one who will receive him back anymore, he checked his mail and again another letter from her, she hasn’t send letter for months now, this time the envelope was thin, was the time he was fearing so much, he didn’t reply to her because of the fear and now what he feared the most was probably inside that envelope. He grabbed his keys again, put the envelope on his jacket and drove without any destination in particular. During the red light he grabbed the letter from his pocket, he just looked at it, then he realizes that he was in that street, the same light where they met, he crumpled the letter and speeded up.
She holding her suit case waiting for someone, she looks around in every direction with expectations, people saying farewell in one direction and people welcoming others in another direction, airports were full of emotions. She waited and waited …
“Be with you (Let me be with you)
Please, please, at least now
Even if it stops the clock of emptiness, I will embrace you
The distance we cross over together, laughing as if we're crying...”

He parked and walked towards a place where he often was going to think and remember, that place where you are able to see the planes arriving or departing, he stayed there for long then the noise of wheels from a suitcase annoyed him ,the steps of someone walking, he turns around, he felt silly for doing so when he sees her, none of them could believe it, she thought he was not going to pick her up and he thought he was never going to see her again, she drops her suitcase and slowly walk towards him, with fear he aim his hand on her shoulder, his fingers were trembling, he saw her tears and in a quick movement he pulls her towards him and holds her tights, she holds him feeling happy that their feelings never changed, he kiss softly her hair while embracing her to never let her go again.
“Let's wish upon the stars for eternity, from the bottom of our hearts
