I never did the
”He loves me not….
He loves me” game
with flowers.
I already knew nobody loved me
so why should I listen
to a stupid flower?
I did make wishes
on dandelions
after the bloom died
and it was tiny spikes of fluff
waiting to blow away
till next year.
I hated wasting my time
but I couldn’t resist.
I figured
”If there’s even a small hope
that this will work….
I’ve got to try! ”
I would find a spot
where nobody could see me
and I’d whisper
my one wish
the same wish
every time.
Thousands of dandelions
blown away
by my pleading breath.
I never told a soul
my wishes.
Until now.
I wished to be happy
one day…
with a husband
who loves me
and kids who love me.
I wished so hard…
I never thought
those dandelions
were listening.
