Wishes Wasted

Of all those I could choose,
To waste wishes upon
I choose to waste wishes on you

You
The farthest away
You
The hardest to reach
You
The one I can't remember
You
The one I hardly know
You 
The most (and least) perfect a match

A pendant and a clasp on my neck kiss
and I wish
Dandelion fluff blown off the stem
and I wish
Birthday candles on someone else's cake
and I wish
A reflection on a lake
and I wish
A found-on-the-ground heads-up penny hits the fountain water with a splash
and I wish
The twist of an apple stem landing on just the right letter
and I wish
A lucky number
and I wish
An imagined friend
and I wish
The empty air
and I wish

Why do I wish on you?
I've no one else to wish for
Jealousy brings you to mind
And thus an infatuation is born

Because who can't resist a wish of their own
You can't blame me
For all I want 
Is for someone to waste their wishes on me
