It's a w i s h you make once and young

For a better start, before your breath is gone.

It's the kind of wish where you watch the stars and wait,

Makes you hold on too tight,

Fall in love too early until it's too late.

~

It's a grand old white w e d d i n g with bouquets and dancing

In this spectacular and dazzling room

Yet the guests are caught whispering

Something seems to be missing

It's a wedding without the groom

~

It's a w i l l that deserves silence

When you lay in your coffin bed,

It's a will that leaves your things to no one.

Because no one is who is left.
