I saw a shooting star tonight

There's a meteor shower and they said the best view, all over the US, would be around 2 a.m. But a friend on Facebook said that they were already started. When I went to take the dogs out before bed, I watched and watched and didn't see a thing. Didn't expect to because I'm the one who never sees anything. Not anymore. I used to see wonderful things in the sky when Allen and I were together. But I asked to please let me see one and I asked Allen to send me just one. And I'd know he didn't hate me. How childish, right? But then it was there and gone -- one single meteor flashed by. I cried. I needed to put this here so that I'll never forget. I always think I'll remember things and then I can't.
