Description   Yes, I remember those days well. The days when I thought the stars were magical and could grant me wishes. The two of us standing in an open field looking up towards the night sky. Our hearts filled with hope and dreams, our hands gripping them tightly as if they would leap out and leave forever.
  Yes, I remember what I wished for. It was vain, but I didn't want anything else. Children are selfish that way, you know? Always wanting something that they might never get. And after I wished for it you always asked me what it was I wished for. And I never once told you. One of the rules to wishes you know. If you say what you wished for, it will never come true.
  Yes, I remember your wishes. After you made your wish, you'd tell me it with a large smile on your face. You never once wished for yourself. You always wished for another's happiness. I always loved that about you. So kind to others, and never expecting that kindness to be returned. Always giving. Always making my happy.
  Yes, I remember when you got sick. It was a cold afternoon, the rain never stopping. I ran to your house after I got the news about your health. I was freezing and wet by the time I got to you. You laughed at me and called me silly. Then you started coughing. Your mother told me to go home. As I left I smiled back at you, doing my best not to show you how worried I was. I don't think I did a good job at it though. I prayed for you to get well and made wishes on every star. But no matter what I did, it didn't do anything to help.
  Yes, I remember the day you passed on. I was there, but the doctor never let me in your room. He said I was too young and that only family was allowed. I hate that man to this day. I sat outside your bedroom door and waited, hearing muffled sobs and whispers. A few minuets later the door opened and they carried your body out. I couldn't watch. Your funeral was quiet. Even the people crying made no sound. It scared me. I stayed by your grave though, even after everyone left. I cried on your headstone.
  Yes, I remember. I remember everything about you. I could never forget you.
  I go out to that field still, right after the sun goes down and the stars can be seen. To tell you the truth I've lost all faith in magic and dreams. Because my vainest wish never came true. You always asked me what I wished for, with that warm smile on your face. And I shook my head.
  I wished to be with you forever.
