8 Billion Candles

You are the wish somebody makes every time they blow out the candles of their birthday cake.

Someone like you,

someone with a soul just as enchanting as your own

and out of the 8 billion people in the world, there are some out there with your name on the tip of their tongues except with no clue how to pronounce it

and they cannot try because wishes only come true if you do not say it out loud

and still, that doesn’t mean they do not think of you. Still, it does not mean that they do not wish on a thousand stars for somebody like you to crawl into their life

because who would ever think a stranger has been draining their wallets with coins to throw into a fountain, hoping that they will find you
