anyone recognize this japanese myth?

So I read this myth/legend years ago when I had to have been 9-10, so I'm sure I'm not remembering everything right, but does anyone know where it's from or if it's even real? Based on how my childhood memories go, it's entirely possible that I'm making this up. This is what I remember (keep in mind that I'm pretty sure some of this is complete 10yo bs)

I remember something about two lovers who had somehow ended up offending some big spirit or god or something, so they ended up in the sky seperated by a great big river in the clouds or sum like that. I think it was like, on the seventh day of the seventh month they had the chance to cross the river at sunset, but only if the river was 'calm' (the sky is clear).

I have literally no idea if any of this is real, but I've been checking the clouds every July 7 since I was 9/10. I tried googling it when I was like… 16 but had no luck.
