wishful thinking
every eyelash that falls and catches
is blown off my thumb
in the breeze of your name.
every coin i toss into the mall fountain
or a wishing well
is weighted with a thought of you.
birthday candles are extinguished
with the light of your face in my brain.
i've started hunting for 4 leaf clovers
upturned pennies and shooting stars.
i'm not sure
but i think you may be the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow.
11:11 is my favorite time of day
another minute added to my stock
i dont know if i'm wasting my wishes
but i think you just might be worthy
of the little magic i can inject my everyday life
and an extra thought
when i lose an eyelash.
sorry we can't make the connection
but my line's been down for awhile
and i think the man from the phone company is coming
soon to cut it off for good
sorry you cant hear my words
but my end of the receiver is on permanent mute
and i think the pressure of your voice in my ear
is enough for me now.
these messages i replay in my head
are slowly losing their signifigance
our particular brand of "phone tag"
is starting to get to me
these missed moments
wrong numbers
busy signals
i'll have to call you back
when i figure out why
i cant open my mouth.
the line goes dead.
