I donβt know about you, but when nostalgia hits me, itβs always accompanied by a bittersweet feeling. Waiting for a Star to Fall, a song by Boy Meets Girl, captures emotion I can hardly explain. The sweetness, the pain, the love, and loss. Do you have a song that cures and hurts you at the same time?
Hereβs mine.
Iβm stating the obvious but Boy Meets Girl, Waiting for a Star to Fall is one of my top favorites songs, which is also inspired me to write βSo Close Yet So Farβ micro-fiction.
PS: Can I please ask you a favor and readΒ my poemΒ titled:Β Not PerfectΒ over at Online Book Club? If you like it, please vote for my entry. Thank you.
Edit: I feel like this contest is all a dirty business trick. In the private view, I people’s vote to my poem isnβt counted because they havenβt “verifiedβ their email. What the hell is the point of this contest if everyone who voted is mandated to sign up first? Itβs all a dirty business trick.
I withdraw it from there and share in my substack blog.

Complicated but done π₯° Beautiful poem by the way! Iβm sure Orion is aware he has a wonderful mom π
Thank you so much Ribby. π₯° For the trouble and that sweet assurance π
wonderful poem. I went to vote, but then it asked me to set up an account, which I declined to do…
Thank you so much Jim π and please donβt bother signing up if you donβt feel to. What the hell is the point of this contest if everyone who can vote is mandated to sign up first. Itβs all a dirty business trick. I’m going to edit the post and put this info as well.
it would be nice if you could just vote, but no matter. the important thing is how wonderful your poem was!
Yes, it would be nice if the voter aren’t required to do so much π but I’m super happy you liked it. Thank you π

Amazing song. Beautiful Poem. Please clarify, Post voting I got an email to verify the link. I did – clicked it. It’s asking to sign up. Let me know, the vote is approved or should I sign up to complete voting π
Thank you so much Simon. For voting and for making me aware that this contest is a piece of shit. Your vote along with 12 other people isn’t counted because they “haven’t verified” their email. Please don’t bother signing up if you don’t feel to.
I asked my husband to vote just to check what happens and he also got the link, but even upon clicking it, the vote wasn’t counted. What the hell is the point of this contest if everyone who can vote is mandated to sign up first. It’s all a dirty business trick.
Sorry ranting. I’m so angry about this site right now.
I have 3 emails π and I wondered whether to sign up for this site from all these emails, well, that made me question this part. Hope you understood, You got 3 votes from me π let me know, if you are getting something, I’ll sure sign up for it βΊοΈ
