My tiny wish was smaller. Almost embarrassing.
It wasn’t the kind of wish you blow out on a candle. Not the kind you whisper into a fountain coin or catch in a shooting star’s tail. Those are for grand gestures—love that rewrites the sky, money that fills empty rooms, health that turns back time.

Just one more Tuesday. Her. Black socks. A paperback. The quiet permission to be small and real. My tiny wish was smaller
