Comet

I hardly ever
See you
But everytime I do
My heart skips
And I smile
As I realize
Who you are

I remember
The last time
You stopped by
Almost always
Unannounced
But never uninvited
And always a welcomed guest

If I only knew
The language
So that you could
Tell me where you’ve been
What you’ve seen
But I am earthbound
Never meant to be in your orbit

Once again
Without a word
You have left
Like countless other times
And I am wondering
If that was really you
Or was I wistfully thinking
As I watched a falling star
