Today it didn’t seem so far <br />From where I am to where you are <br />I wished upon a common star <br />For a letter that you didn’t send <br />A broken heart you couldn’t mend <br />A kind word from a distant friend <br />I wished that I had crossed your mind <br />That life had treated you still kind <br />And it was hard for me to find <br />That wishes don’t always come true <br />That’s not to say they never do <br />But broken hearts aren’t fixed with glue<br /><br />Hannah Hampton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-it-to-pieces/
