I blew out the candles,
And told myself,
“I hope you fall
In love
This year.”

And while the idea
Of love within a
Relationship is beautiful
And good and sweet,
Just like frosting on that cake…

I have made my wish
Come true myself,
And I have fallen in
Love with who I am.

I have fallen in love,
Tumbled breathlessly
Into hope and belonging
Within my own life.
