Would you catch a falling star?

Falling stars. These amazing streaks of light you can sometimes see in the night sky are caused by tiny bits of dust and rock called meteoroids falling into the Earth's atmosphere and burning up.

These "falling stars" may be believed as something magical that happens in the night sky and is also known commonly by people that if one sees a falling star, that person's wish will be granted.

My entry for today isn't quite the same as the traditional "falling star". Metaphorically speaking, "stars" may be symbols of people and "falling" may be the actual act of falling "for someone" or falling "in love."

Would it be too impossible for someone to fall for another person even if they're both far away?

From each other's point of view, one is just a star. Up in the sky, doing its usual twinkling, making the dark blue sky less dull. But in one unexpected situation, two stars met though they're both far from each other.

Their night becomes day and their day becomes night. Both stars would shine as bright as they could for each other. But one day, these two stars talked about something,, a topic which somehow changed everything.

One star started feeling a bit attached to the other. Hoping and always looking forward for the other's presence. The story of these two stars may be a bit unreal. I mean, how would things work out? Does the other star feel the same, or is it just another way of keeping himself from getting bored?

These questions may have come across the other star's mind. But one thing is for sure. She is happy when this star is around. And every time this happens, no other star nor the moon can out shine him in her eyes. For her, he'd be the brightest star in the heavens.

But taking all these metaphors away. Can one really know if he/she have already fallen for someone in a situation where they are both far away?

Surreal yet possible.....

Now,

if you see a star falling for you,

Would you catch it?
