My 16 Wishes

I've seen your face a thousand times
I'd be surprised if you've seen mine
I doubt you'll ever read this
But I hope you'll get the time
I wished for many things so far
As many people do
But all my wishes share one thing
My wishes are for you

I wish you could have been there
to wipe away these tears
I wish that I could have a chance
to tell you all my fears
I wish that you could tell me
So many things I didn't know
I wish that I could hold you tight
and never let you go

I wish that I could kiss your lips
or fiddle with your hair
I wish that when I was upset
you'd tell me you were there
I wish that you could tell me jokes
I've heard a thousand times
I wish you'd tell me all your riddles
with all their aimless rhymes

I wish that I could talk to you
about my day at school
I wish that I could tell you that
you sometimes act a fool
I wish you could be there
just to calm me when I'm mad
Or just to be a voice for me
to soothe me when I'm sad

I wish that I could look into your eyes
and declare my love.
I wish that if we broke up
our friendship could be enough
I wish that sometime later
we'd reminisce about what we were
But the only thing I wish right now...
I wish that I was her.
