And I pray that you are as happy
as you pretend that you are.
Because, dear, you really matter,
...you're my shooting star.
`` This is so true with so many people these days. They pretend they're happy, but you don't know if they really are or not. They think pain makes them weak or they don't want people to worry about them, so they pretend, and sometimes they fake it so well it just becomes natural.

And I'll write you a hundred thousand poems
just so i can throw 'em to the wind.
I want you to forget all these pointless words
because they're still not good enough.
`` This is so sweet. You care about this person so much that no words can describe it. You write them poems, but they're never good enough.

Oh shooting star, shooting star, wish you well
flying hard, running far, it's not quite the same.
Oh shooting star, shooting star, yeah, I wish you well
even though I don't have a face for your name.
`` Oooh, I can just imagine this being sung. It's so beautiful. I think you used "shooting star" perfectly here. It really paints a picture.

So I wish you the safest of journeys
and that you pretend to makebelieve.
Oh, fall down out from the heavens,
so that we can see.
`` I looove that second line. At first it confused me, then I really thought about it, and it's amazing. I love how you come up with this kind of stuff it makes your good poems incredible. x]

Amazzzziiing, Gabby! ^.^
