wishes don't come true

Wishing wishes,
having dreams,
telling stories,
picking teams.

Blowing on dandelions,
Extinguishing birthday candle's flames,
closing my eyes,
as I think of his name.

Staying up late,
Waiting 'till it's time,
11:11 will come soon,
and hoping isn't a crime.

I've wished and dreamed for years,
And I've never actually gotten you,
And after all of this time,
I've finally realized that wishes don't come true.
