We experienced the same event
But remember different things
A conversation at the pier
Questioning why we’re here
A topic normally steered clear
But somehow it came up
And I sensed something
Was bothering you–
In minutes explained
But soon hours they became
From the absurdity of everything
To how people are stranger things
And in the final hour
How you broke up with your partner
Because there was nowhere else to go
And with watery eyes as you confessed
You said you were happy to let someone else know
Excused yourself for the intrusion then left–
But I remember other things
How the moonlight bathed you in a comforting light
How you looked over your shoulder as you walked away
How in the sky above streaked a lone meteorite
How to that falling star a wish I wanted to convey
