@budtheteacher's prompt is here -- both the photo and the quote pushed me into new thinking.
Hang Your Hopes
Like sugar spilled on a tablecloth of sky,
the stars remind me of sweet what-might-have-beens.
Like us, spread across what we thought was love,
but turned out to be just what was there,
falling into the arms of others before we knew us was real.
Like me, basking in the softness of your old light,
believing it is a wish that might come true,
but knowing it is only what somewhere was me and you.

I like the rhythmic "like" you used here. It's a nice touch.
