Maybe we should stop wishing on shooting stars,
birthday candles,
and dandelions
to bring our muttered words to life

For eighteen years later,
we still close our eyes;
whispering words of yearning at a golden object,
demolishing a crimson flame,
and emitting white specks into the lucent air

But maybe we shouldn't
For these wishes we make for countless years
Serve as reminders:
That no one in life has everything,
But at least we have something

Even if it's just an intangible sentence
muttered under our ardent breath
What do wishes actually prove?
