i wish i could be happy for once,
and have more meaning to giving love another chance.
i wish i could feel myself smile,
about someone my heart longs for who could be with me even for a while.
i wish i could do more than say "i'm in love with you,"
and prove by saying "i'll do anything–even die for you."
i wish this pain would go away,
by knowing that even we're apart, in your heart i would stay.
i wish that you would wash away these tears,
by holding me tight amidst all my fears.
i wish that despite all the chaos and the noise,
i could still hear your soft, calming voice.
i wish that you would never leave my sight,
and that you'll remain with me throughout the night.
i wish that i could say
how i see you in my heart, if you'll let me have my way.
i wish i could hold you hand,
and let you know that without you, i cannot even stand.
and if all these wishes you think are all a lie,
then i'll just be wishing that i'd die.
composed during my lunch hour today…
