I Wish

I Wish

There was so much I wanted to say to you,

Before you left me all alone.

Before the only thing I had of you,

Was your picture on my phone.

I wanted to tell you the way I felt and

share this love that's deep inside;

To show you the heart you melted,

That passionate twinkle in my eyes.

But now you're gone, whirlwinded away,

And all because I was a fool.

I shouldn't have said that thing that day,

I shouldn't have lost my cool.

I wish I could go back, back to the start,

And just not do that thing I did,

That's caused us both a broken heart,

Oh, I wish, I wish, I wish!

I was a damn fool to do what I did,

To jeopardise what we could have.

I didn't realise it then, but now I wish,

That I could take every bit of it back.

You're my sun, my earth, moon and stars;

You're the stuff of which my dreams are made.

We'd taken a firm grasp of our hearts,

And my words have acted the blade.

I wish you were here, laying with me,

See the sorriness flow from my eyes,

See how my feelings for you are so deep;

So you could just realise,

That man makes mistakes, it's merely a flaw,

And I'd fix it all up if I could.

I wish you'd give me a chance, one more,

To share with you the life that we should.
