A Wish

A penny in a wishing well,
A wish on a shooting star,
Blowing out cakes' candles
Hasn't worked so far.
Wishing you to come to me
I feel won't ever come true.
I gave up finally
On ever having you.
But this feeling of emptiness
Without you by my side
My heart is filled with sadness
And feeling I cannot hide.
