Every day

At eleven minutes past eleven

I think of you.

You were always superstitious,

Or maybe

You were just hopeful,

Looking for the end of your rainbow.

You never told me what you wished for,

Only tossed your hair

When I asked,

But I think I can guess.

You wanted wings

And you got them,

Or you’d still be here.

As for me, all I wanted

Was to be the end of your rainbow

But I guess you were always better

At wishing

Than me.
