Wishes
I have taken walks before
on cool summer nights
where there is a sweet breeze
with only the light of the moon.
I pick a star and wish on it.
I spend most of the night
wishing on different ones
as I've done a thousand nights before.
But this night is different
I'm not alone.
I hear a voice so deep
yet it's the sweetest sound I've ever heard.
As I keep wishing, I know he's watching
hiding away, not wanting to be seen.
Finally, after I think I've wished on every star
I start my walk back home.
This time it's not a sad one
because he has decided to join me.
Not saying a word, only in silence
walking side by side.
We stop for a rest
under a pine tree
and listen as the wind blows
through the pine needles.
He turns to me
and asks me what I was wishing for.
I lean in, close my eyes
and whisper in his ear... "You."
When I open my eyes
I realise it was all a dream
and I guess wishes
never really come true.
