little wish-flower

the wind blew in strong from the north

&

one of my dandelions banged its head

against the too cold of a breeze.

suddenly, my wish-flower,

was a wish-flower no longer.

all of its sweet petals fell to ground

just as tears rolled from my eyes.

somehow,

that’s alright.

everyone knew that strong north wind

was going to blow, everyone but me that is.

now here i sit in it. cold, half-alone, but

well, we’re never really alone, are we?

nothing is ever private except secrets carefully

[hidden]

and how he hid his secrets.

my little wish-flower said to live my life

in the harshest of tones as its petals fell

to the autumn floor.

at first i didn’t now what it meant

but that’s alright.

i’m learning.

i love you, little wish-flower.

if i never see you again just remember

and remember, you don’t dare...

...'cause you don't...have to say it back.

but still,

i love you wish-flower.
