If you realised that the person you love,

loves you back,

what would you do?

What if the person you thought you

will never had a chance with

one day take you into his arms

or pull you closer to her small frame

and say,

'I love you.

Come with me.'

And with a breathless whisper

Would you believe that person?

---

What if you could get anyone you wanted?

That boy you saw at the cafe?

What if I told you he is yours?

The pretty girl in school

you can't help look at?

What if one day

she runs to your arms?

Every person on Earth you love

will finally, finally,

truly love you back.

Could it be

an illusion?

---

How about all those times

you gazed at the stars

and wondered if your dreams

will ever come true?

Your wishes

your ultimate desires

fulfilled.

---

When the boy

or girl you have been dreaming about

for so long have now

materialised and have found

the spaces between their fingers

to fit so perfectly around yours,

would you call it an achievement

or will deceit suffice?

And when you realise that

your dreams have become reality

will it dazzle you

or haunt you?

---

If you got your wish,

will you still take it?

---

Be careful

What you wish for.
