These Wishes Would Certainly Remain Wishes Forever

I wish I could…
say I never met nor knew you…
pretend that you didn’t really exist…
erase your name written on my papers…
wake up from dreams of you…
remember to forget you.

I wish I could…
make you cry when I smile…
leave you alone when we’re together…
be an enemy to a friend like you…
be different when we’re the same…
be so far when you’re so close.

I wish I could…
add up to the weight of that cross on your shoulders…
be bitter when you’re so sweet…
be cruel when you’re so gentle…
give you thorns while you give me flowers…
give you pain while you give me joy.

I WISH I COULD HATE LOVING YOU.
…but I can’t.

And I won’t…

’cause I know I don’t have the right to do so…
