Wisps of a Wish

Sitting solely in a field
Surrounded by grass and weeds  
You quietly sat down  
In the middle of the seeds  
You didn't say a word  
In silence there you sat  
I wish I could have filled the silence  
To keep the sky from turning black  
I searched your eyes for something  
My eyes you could not meet  
You just sat there curled up  
Brimming in your own defeat  
With tears ready to spill over  
A small smile crossed your face  
"I've got an idea"  
I sat, longing for your embrace  
Instead you picked up the wisp of a flower  
And blew it to the breeze  
I plucked one cautiously
Only hoping to appease  
"What did you wish for?"  
A wish I would not tell  
But if I were to tell you  
I only wished that you were well

Author's Note
This poem didn't quite turn out how I expected it to, however I've had some resurfacing emotions lately and, well, this is how I deal with it ha ha
Ps. My sister actually took the picture I used for the poem ❤
