7 expressions of fatuos expectations
Exclusively for "Alexander the Great"

I made a wish, it came true
And everything around me was in bright hues.
Was it by chance? T ' is I asked.
Was it meant to be?
Uncertainty; I made another wish,
To my surprise; twice!
To see him again
With his wonderful smile.
I can't believe it happened; t' is the third.
I must say fate was on my side.
Another test,
So my thoughts would rest.
Another wish,
To let my heart at ease and,
Find if there's any link between my soul and his.
There he was; an instant connection.
Was it by chance again? or
Was it destiny's creation?
My feelings grew,
But no way of letting him know.
I wonder if he feels the same way too.
Time dragged -
He was nowhere to be found -
Oh! Will he I ever lay my eyes on him again?
I miss him so; 
I wish he knows.
Another wish;
To wake up from this dream 
And get him out of my system.
But why is my heart telling me different?
A different wish then, 
To see him one last time -
Hold him? kiss him even.
Alas! There he was as I imagined.
Walking towards my direction-
Oh! Is this really happening?
My wish came into being.
He took me in his arms so suddenly
And heard him say: "You're my destiny".
But to wake without him is reality.
