I Wish

I wish I could make you smile at me,
That beautiful, intoxicating smile,
That makes me go weak at the knees.

I wish I could make you talk to me,
The revelations of the real you,
The sensitive person no one else sees.

I wish I could make you hold me,
In arms of strength and power,
In safety from my horrid nightmares.

I wish I could make you save me,
Show me the world is charming,
Show me that somebody here cares.

I wish I could make you kiss me,
A kiss thick with fiery passion,
A kiss with a promise of undying love.

I wish I could make you need me,
Without thoughts of another,
Without doubt that I'm sent from above.

I wish I could make you want me,
When you're vexed or glum,
When you simply need a friend to talk to.

I wish I could make you love me,
Make your heart full of devotion,
Make you care for me as I care for you.

I wish.
I wish.
I wish.
But wishes never come true.
