It is said that when you blow out a candle on your birthday, your wish will come true.
Mine didn't.
Mine won't.
My candle didn't blow out. It reignited.
Maybe my wish isn't meant to come true.
It would be a lot easier if it was.
But maybe it just isn't.

I close my eyes and try to visualize her.
But I can't.
She's just a blur. A blur that I've somehow always known.
I think of her every year, on this very day.
And she's that wish that I can't have.
