A beautiful shooting star appeared in the sky. It was simply gorgeous. I shielded my eyes and watched it as it fell down. It was beautiful. Suddenly, a bright white light appeared. I was blinded for a minute and I couldn’t see straight. A person appeared
“Don’t’ hurt me,” I said. It must’ve been 2 AM at night.
“I could never hurt you,” The voice said. I gasped again. That voice…it was so familiar.
Tears formed in my eyes. For the very first time. It was the oddest thing, I had no idea why I was crying right now. Nick appeared. I gasped. He was beautiful. He was dressed in all white. Luminous white. Cloud white. Heaven White. He had a tiny gold halo above his head. Fluttering wings formed on his back. Tiny precious wings.
“Oh Nick…” I whispered. He was an angel.
“Rachel,” he said
“Nick…come back! Don’t leave,”
“I have to leave Rachel,” Nick said sadly. My god. He was perfectly beautiful. No person could be more beautiful than he was at that moment. Gorgeous
“I love you,” he whispered. He kissed my cheek. It was a soft brush of air. I started crying quietly
“Don’t cry,” He said. He wiped the tears away with his fingers, which felt like wind.
“Nick…” I said through my tears “You never taught me how to dance,”
Suddenly, this absolutely fantastic smile burst onto Nick’s face. He held out his hand. I put mine on it. He guided me around the park.
“ How will I start
Tomorrow, without you here?
Who’s heart will guide thee
All the answers disappear…
This is too late
Are you too far gone to stay?
Dismissed forever…
You should never have to go away
What will I do…
You know
I’m only half without you
How will I make it through?
If only tears could bring you back to me
If only love could find a way
What I would do, what I would give
If you return to me
Someday, somehow, somewhere
If my tears could bring you back to me
I’ve called an ocean
For you to stay home again
Waves of emotion…
Will carry you and all they can
Just let love guide you
And your heart will chart the course
Soon you’ll be drifting
To the arms of your true one
Look in my eyes
You’ll see a million tears have gone by
And still they’re not dry
If only tears could bring you back to me
If only love could find a way
What I would do, what I would give
If you’d return to me
Someday, somehow, somewhere
If my tears could bring you back to me
I’d hold you close
And shout the words
To bring you back into my arms
For one more chance
For one last dance
There’s only you…
If only tears could bring you back to me
If only love could find a way
What I would do, what I would give
If you’d return to me
Someday, somehow, somewhere
If my tears could bring you back to me
If my tears could bring You Back To Me”
I laid my head on Nick’s beautiful shoulder as we slowly moved around the park. When the song ended I looked at him through my tears. He began to disappear from view,
“No Nick…” I said
Nick put a finger on my lips. I was quieted immediately “I love you,” He whispered into my ears. I was about to respond when he disappeared. I started feeling the air, searching for Nick
“Nick…come back….” I sank into the cemented floor. I cried. Big loud as hell sobs. I eyed the basketball that was next to me. I picked it up and shoved it at the basket. I smiled through my salty tears. The ball went into the basket. I wiped my tears away and stood up tall.
I love you Nick. Remember, on a shooting star.
