I use to wish upon a Star
Wondering what life has in stored
Will my hearts song take me far
Or will I be ignored
We met as school kids, a bit naive
With the glint of hope in our eyes
From the beginning I was hooked
When his stare locked upon mine
My heart skipped a beat or two or three
Wasn’t sure what I was feeling
Introducing himself, his name like music
Caressing my inner being
Becoming friends was the easy part
His humor brought smiles to my face
In those times it was greatly needed
The bullies ran wild in that place
He tried his best to protect me
And I saved him from eating paste
He even snuck a little kiss
But tattled cause I was scared of my fate
Feeling better knowing he was always around
Comforted my heart to the core
Til one day he disappeared from me
The comfort I felt no more
Fast forward in time we lived our lives
Got the battle scars as proof of our journey
A simple message from his mail to mine
He found me, bringing back history
He took his shot but I turned him down
Something I’ll always regret
But if love is truly meant to be
There’s no need to worry or fret
Invited him out to the cabin with me
A break we both deserved
Our conversations sped up my heart
So loud he probably heard
Shy and embarrassed with these feelings inside
Like a giddy school girl with a crush
He stared at me with warmth in his eyes
This moment I didn’t want to rush
Floods of emotions filled our core
Feelings I know now I’ve longed for and missed
He held me in his arms as our hearts beat as one
Now 30 years later he got his kiss.
