I Wished Upon a Billion Stars

I wished upon a billion stars,

stored memories in a million jars.

I cried one hundred thousand tears

and prayed for you ten thousand prayers.

I thought of you a thousand times.

I tried to write one hundred rhymes.

I swore I’d give ten lifetimes away,

If I could have you for one more day.

*

I opened a memory jar today,

and laughed ten times at things you’d say.

A hundred smiles did soon replace

the thousand teardrops on my face.

Ten thousand moments, there and gone;

one hundred thousand more live on.

Your answer soothed a million scars,

When I wished upon a billion stars.
