Wishes

I wish upon every star
   in the night sky
      that you will
   one day,
near or far,
   be only mine.
      I’m not ashamed
   to admit
that I search the horoscopes
   daily
      and weekly
   for a sign
that my wishes will come true.
   Whenever the clock
      strikes 11:11
   I wish for only you.
When stray lashes
   fall upon my cheeks,
      it is your heart
   that my heart seeks.
And the visions
   in my dreams,
      it’s true,
   are only visions
of a happily ever after
   with you.
