You throw a coin on the well

it falls, soon disappears.

Then you hear it hit the bottom, faint and far, but that's the sign that:

Hey, you have a wish.


You can ask for anything, anything you would want,

you just have to say and now you have it.

Without thinking too much you ask for happiness


A few moments after, you get an odd feeling in your stomach

you feel it a little warm for a second

almost like something familiar


And then... It's gone

You thought there would be something more, maybe better or longer but that is it

A thought of blaming the well crosses your mind, but that would be unfair

it doesn't owe you any wishes

you should be thankful it even gave you anything


You think "maybe next time it'll be better"

But you have no more coins

Maybe tomorrow


Maybe tomorrow will be different
