A Wish I Made
Continuance of “Did I Tell You of My Dream?”
On this day,
one year ago,
before I shed tears,
and let you go,
there was a wish I made,
I told you so.
Before I told you,
all I felt,
after I told you,
where my heart knelt,
in rugged ruins under a belt,
with chaos in its wake.
I told you, I didn’t know how much more,
I could take.
Glitter and dust,
an arcane rush,
humorous thoughts,
to feel less lost,
during that time,
like no one was around.
A thousand words said with just one action,
a million others in one word.
Under the stars with a canister of cookies, I froze. I didn’t know how to tell you and I was definitely scared of what you thought. Truth be told. I didn’t have what It took to see that spot she has and I’m glad.

I already knew, I just didn’t want to say. I didn’t want to take away what I felt that day, that night. Something was special.
It was in the atmosphere and as you walked away, I changed my plans. I changed them for me. Possibly for you and for anyone else I could know in the future to come. I looked back and reiterated my wish.
“An everlasting bond with the man from my dream.” A man I, never for my life, would have imagined he really did exist.
And the rest — it’s not for the public. It wouldn’t be special anymore, would it?

I said on the first of the year, this year would be different. Indeed, so far it has been very different. Unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Thank you for being a part of that.
