she picks petals off daisies
playing that timeless trap of a game
as if "he loves me" doesn't fall
on every odd number
she chases after clouds
ignoring that cliche number nine
because eight and three quarters
is enough to be happy
she looks to the sky
uttering that age-old nighttime rhyme
if only she'd realize
those shooting stars are just airplanes
