Waiting for a Star to Fall
I don’t know about you, but when nostalgia hits me, it’s 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?
Here’s mine.
I’m 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 “So Close Yet So Far” micro-fiction.
PS: Can I please ask you a favor and read my poem titled: Not Perfect 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 isn’t counted because they haven’t “verified” their email. What the hell is the point of this contest if everyone who voted is mandated to sign up first? It’s all a dirty business trick.
I withdraw it from there and share in my substack blog.

wonderful poem. I went to vote, but then it asked me to set up an account, which I declined to do…
Jessica E. Larsen
Thank you so much Jim 💞 and please don’t bother signing up if you don’t feel to. 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. I’m going to edit the post and put this info as well.
Jim Borden
it would be nice if you could just vote, but no matter. the important thing is how wonderful your poem was!
Jessica E. Larsen
Yes, it would be nice if the voter aren’t required to do so much 😔 but I’m super happy you liked it. Thank you 💕

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 😇
Jessica E. Larsen
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.
Simon
I have 3 emails 😂 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 😇 let me know, if you are getting something, I’ll sure sign up for it ☺️
Jessica E. Larsen
That’s very sweet of you. Yes, I completely understand. And I recognized your email there actually haha 😀 Thanks again 🙂
