I wish

A young girl’s wishful thinking

Every night as I fall asleep

I wish on the north star

I’m afraid it doesn't hear me though

After all, it's so distant, so far

I wish for goodnight texts

For making random paper boats

I wish for a flower every day

And a bunch of handwritten notes

I wish to cuddle under a blanket

And watch romcoms all night

I wish for aimless, playful arguments

Over comparison of heights

I wish for a thousand “good morning”s

In your sea deep, gravely voice

I wish for slowdancing in the rain

I wish for it once, then I wish twice

I wish to wear your rings

No matter small my fingers are

I wish to buy a house together

A home that we can call ours

I wish to feel your breath on my neck

As I cook for you your favorite food

I wish to address to you, little letters

That I hope will instantly better your mood

I wish to take your breath away

In a stunning black dress

But I wish you like me better

When I'm a morning mess

I wish to see your dimples peeking

Each time I call your mine

I wish to be the reason

Every single time you smile

I’ll hold you in my arms if you cry

And cry along with you

I wish every emotion you feel

You know I feel it too

I wish to come home to you

You ask me, “How was your day?”

I wish to just sit and listen

To the million things that your eyes say

I wish to share my dreams with you

Over midnight momo cravings

I wish that you graciously accept

My rose shaped pencil shavings

I wish for cheesy pickup lines

Under the setting sun

I wish for stupid nicknames

Like “boo-boo” and “hun”

I wish to be your wife someday

I wish to be your bride

I wish to call you my husband

As I beam with pride

And then when the night falls

I wish for chocolate kisses

That fill me with warmth

And remind me I’m your missus

I wish that on my final day

I can melt into your arms

I wish I can say goodbye in peace

And one last time, fall for your charms

I wish that you're wishing too

That my wishes may come true

All my petty little whims

That lead me closer to you
