Shooting Star!

A "falling star" or a "shooting star" has nothing at all to do with a star! These amazing streaks of light you can sometimes see in the night sky are caused by tiny bits of dust and rock called meteoroids falling into the Earth's atmosphere and burning up. The short-lived trail of light the burning meteoroid produces is called a meteor. Meteors are commonly called falling stars or shooting stars. If any part of the meteoroid survives burning up and actually hits the Earth, that remaining bit is then called a meteorite.

We saw a shooting star. 

And although the article above states that it has nothing, at all to do with a real star, the hope it brings still enlightens me. The imaginary feeling of hope and magic. Amazing! 

It was quick, small and lasted for about 3 seconds.

But we still saw it.

The fake message it relays about a star and a wish was a fact we both knew.

But I still did made a wish.

The world hurts, the world can sometimes be harsh. But little miracles like this, exist, for a mere fantasy of both magic and love.
