A wish, softly whispered under a shooting star. My empty heart yearns for a love that’s real; not merely a fanciful dream. I close my eyes and concentrate, summoning happiness to come fulfill a wish. (Rictameter) 06,14,2019

Me too, Emile. Some days happiness seems to be on the run. But when I tell the universe the truth of who I am, happiness seems to come a bit closer. Wshing you the best. Hugs, Catie :-)
