My Angel (Part 2)
  My beautiful creature would come at irregular intervals.  Sometimes sitting at the end of my bed, sometimes at the head.  Always staring.  On the sixth or seventh time it came to see me, I began to talk to it.  I rambled on about all sorts of things.  The kids at school, what I had eaten for lunch...anything that would keep it there with me.  And it would stay until I drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
   This continually happened until I was 12 yeras old.  And then it stopped coming.  You can't imagine the hurt I felt.  I felt abandoned and that I was no longer good enough for my lovely being.  I forgot about it, or at least I tried to.
   Every so often I would think about it and dismiss the entire thing as hallucinations of a tired child.  And then one day, it was gone from my mind...as if it never happened.
   And now, five years later after it last came to me, I was looking out my bedroom window.  Looking at the twinkling stars, trying to figure out my life, where I'm going.  And I closed my eyes for a moment.  And when I opened them, I saw a shooting star, gracing the sky with its glimmering trail of stardust.  Suddenly, out of nowhere, I was filed with a sense of familiar peace and calm and I knew that everything would be alright.
