I came upon a wishing well

And a shilling there I cast,

Nothing happened, I wished I hadn't,

For that shilling was my last.

Quietly ... Breathing

Turn down the insanity
and
  take my hand
fingers splayed
in
  hopeful return
of
secrets half known
  of you
wished fully by me

Of the opportunities offered out there
He was quiet and shy
Now realises why
He was too reserved to dare
