David Mitchell - Birthday Wish

Each year, on my birthday, I have had a birthday cake.
Each year I have had to blow the candles out, and make a wish.
I don't think I made any particular wishes when I was younger; at least, if I did, I don't remember it.
But today I made a wish.
I cannot tell you what it was, or it would not come true.
Will my wish be fulfilled this year?
