Once upon a December you asked me;
‘What do you wish for,
When the clocks announce the midnight hour?’

I answered something vague,
It made you sigh and shake your head
But in my mind I told you the truth;

‘I wish I could tell you
Of all the things,
That cross the bridge between my mind and my heart
How lemons actually came to be,
How strange it really is - us looking at the same moon Sappho herself did,
How I hope to wake up next to your warm body

I wish I could show you
Every little thing,
That makes me truly feel alive
How beautiful the sunset over Costa Blanca is,
How your face glows - when you look into the burning flames of a candle,
How you make me smile by calling my name

I wish I could experience with you
The most intimate moments,
That would ignite my burdened soul
How the evergreen landscape devours us,
How moonlight dances around us on your balcony - painting our features as bright as gems,
How a quiet morning in your arms is more than enough

I wish,
Oh - how I hope you do too’
