I wished on
eyelashes
clovers
dandelions
and threw pennies
in wells
all so I'd have
the chance to
get to know you.
I felt that if I
wished for something
greater than that,
it would not come true.

For now I will wait.
I will wait for us to
officially meet, to
bump into each other
and apologize
and hopefully say
a lot more.
