wishin'

how to make a wish

  • shooting stars
  • eyelashes
  • birthday candles
  • 11:11
  • 12:12, 1:11, 2:22 etc. if you're really desperate
  • wishing rocks
  • lucky pennies
  • dandelion fluff
  • wishing wells/fountains
  • 1,000 paper cranes
  • a stolen kiss
  • four leaf clover
  • first star you see at night
  • wishbones
  • catch a falling autumn leaf
  • cross your fingers
  • wish bracelets

i think i have a bad connection
 i live in the basement you see,

can you hear me now?

i never was good at origami
and my dandelions never completely blew away 
but i can't help thinking that someday i'll find a way

but bracelets always looked weird on my arms
and i'm scared of my eyelashes falling out.

and here in highland, utah we seem to have a shortage of wells

and well, 

i forgot what i was supposed to be wishing for.

i have well wishes
and best wishes
but really


i wish i wasn't wishing anymore.

  1. I wish too much... On stars, times, and everything else. And it was all for nothing. I wished I'd spent less time wishing for the same thing and just enjoyed the beauty of the moment.

  2. The idea, and the list list, and the last line, and honestly all the lines basically.
