Wishes

Watching from afar
I would write letters to the stars
Hoping every day that they’d write back

But now that I know better
I know they never got those letters
Since the atmosphere had caught it
As a matter of fact

So I wrote some more,
And more, and more
Untill I had a score
Of lots of letters
To send directly to the skies

And in the young night
I let my letters take flight
Hoping my dreams would fly as high
