A LOVER'S BIRTHDAY WISH

   Today I turned a year older...wiser
   And as I stood there with eyes closed and mouth puckered like a fish
   As the candle glowed in the darkness in a steady flicker
   I closed my eyes and thought of you and so I made my wish
   The candlelight looked beautiful against the darkness
   And the magical glow filled the air
   Whilst my heart made its special desire to still this sadness
   By wishing you were here
   Your absense distresses me
   It fills me with despair
   And I cannot enjoy a moment's glee
   Without your thoughts capturing me in a snare
   And so as I turn a year older...wiser
   I thought that it would be best if we
   Could come into each other's lives and be together
   And share our lives with all its ups, downs, and live happily
   It is my birthday wish that you and I
   Can be together for eternity
   Without your love I will simply wither and die
   So please look into my heart and hear my plea

   Make this birthday wish come true
   Come into my sanctity
   I will be waiting there for you!!!
