Wishing for you

You’re still here But not physically although you appear constantly You’re the wish I make on stars on the long dark nights without you You’re the candles on my cake I blow out as I wished our firefly loved still burned You’re the wishbone pulled form the turkey I never ate to thin myself out so you’d stay You’re the fallen eyelash from my eyes, the same eyes that cried rivers so the idea of us would stay afloat. You’re everywhere as every wish in every second of everyday But no amount of wishing and hoping would ever make you stay
