it’s my 26th birthday
close to 10 years of knowing you
close to 8 years without you
today as usual
i pray that you’ll text again
wish me happy birthday
that would be my best present
having you in the present
i pray earnestly in my shower
with a hint of excitement and embarrassment
i whispered your name in the last of my 3 wishes
those 5 letters
so foreign yet they never left me
as the clock strike 12
i wait patiently
my hope slowly dwindles with every minute
you saw my post my update
but you didn’t wish me
there we go again
another year
i’ll wait another 365 days
and make the same wish again
maybe
just maybe
one day it will come true
how have you been?
my first
and only
love
