A Wish Upon the Stars

I wish he knew

how much I love him
so much sometimes I forget how to love myself.

how much I want to be with him
like I could do anything in this world to travel this distance that made us apart.

how much I care
but sometimes I hold it inside so it didn’t bother him.

how much I need him around
but most of the times I think it’s too selfish and childish so I didn’t ask.

how much I want to take all of his insecurities away
but I never get the chance to do it and I can’t make him trust me.

how much I want him to stay
but I’m too afraid to ask so I watch him slip away from my life.

how much I want to study his mind
so I don’t get lost inside him and I will be the only one that really understand him.

I wish you knew, dear. I really do.

those sleepless nights I spent because I was afraid that I wasn’t enough to be with you so you don’t have to be alone with your thoughts.

I wish I could make you stay. I wish you gave me the chance. I wish you took my hand and I could tell you it’s all gonna be okay. I wish. All I can do right now is wishing.

I wish…

I wish…

I wish you stayed, dear.
