"For Elena" by Daniel Palmer

(Derby, Derbyshire, England.)

May you live happily ever after.
May each second bring you laughter.

Every wish, will be fulfilled.
And every nightmare will be killed.

May this continue till the end.
My love to you, is what I extend.

You have always been so dear to me,
Since the moment I saw you, I yearned for thee.

Although I've known you, for such a short while,
It feels as if, you're walking down the isle.

You talk about 'A fault in our stars',
Yet I see none, only that you are my star.

A lifetime of happiness, is what I wish for you,
Filled with love, enjoyment, achievement too.

We may be far apart,
But you're close to my heart.
I shall think of you always.
Even if I sound like a right tart.

I'm so lucky to know you,
I hope you get everything you want,
I know I'll never forget you,
I really really can't.

Your birthday is so special, what a day this will be!
You'll grow into a beautiful woman, I can't wait to see.

Maybe on day, we'll be able to meet.
I'll get on a plan, and grab the first seat.
All I want, is to see your great smile.
I'll do whatever it takes, I'll walk a million miles!

I pray that this day, is not too far away,
To be able to see you, would make my day.

You've got so many talents, I'm in awe of your skill!
What a future you'll have, it's gonna be a thrill.

Have a great birthday, I hope for all the best.
And I'll never forget, how we met on 'The Test.'
