Big Words

She's eating chestnuts
her favorite winter treat.

They say, 
the first time in the season
you eat a fruit or nut, 
you should make a wish.

Her wish
 automatically comes to her mind,
before her brain has time
 to prossess or sensor it:
''Let our love last for ever!''

For ever...
Big words, 
frighteningly scary.


And ever so sweet...
