Candles

by Mama Effie - Cancer

13 candles decorated my cake
Even though a day early 
They were a sense of relief
Because they meant
I would be back in time
To get the only present 
I could ever want
For my first birthday with you
All I wanted was to see your face
Even if you couldn't see me too
I had something to give you
Even if it seemed a little off.
I had spent all my time
Thinking planning
Waiting for the day
Those 13 candles were 13 wishes
I sent upon the wind that day
"I wish to see my love,
In person, not in my mind"
They told me to give up
That i would seem him the next day
But don't look now
Here I am crying away.
A mere 13 candles can't trun back time
Give me a thousand
Then I'll try.
