By myself curled in a ball.
Wishing you weren't so far.
I want you here from over there.
I wouldn't be wishing.
No need to be wishing.
But I'm left alone.
Just wishing.
Just wishing.
Wishing yes.
Wishing just.
Wishing for you.
Out my window I look at the stars.
Somewhere below them there you are.
If I could fly up to the moon.
I'd fall to earth just to see you.
I wouldn't be wishing.
No need to be wishing.
But I'm left alone.
Just wishing.
Just wishing.
Wishing yes.
Wishing just.
Wishing for you.
Still this curiousity.
How would we be?
Would you hold me?
Do you want me?
Won't you tell me?
Would you replace me?
Can you wait wishing?
Just wait wishing.
I wouldn't be wishing.
No need to be wishing.
But I'm left alone.
Just wishing.
Just wishing.
Wishing yes.
Wishing just.
Wishing for you.
Stare at the cieling.
Talk to the posters on the wall.
Twidle thumps until he calls.
Did you tell him?
Did you ask him?
Just say.
I wouldn't be wishing.
No need to be wishing.
But I'm left alone.
Just wishing.
Just wishing.
Wishing yes.
Wishing just.
Wishing for you.
Sigh in the night. Tears in my eyes.
Can't say. Won't say. Too selfish. Too scared.
Without certainty. Not fair. Unfair.
Close my eyes to sleep.
Look through my dreams.
I wouldn't be wishing.
No need to be wishing.
But I'm left alone.
Just wishing.
Just wishing.
Wishing yes.
Wishing just.
Wishing for you.
A shooting star.
A eyelash fallen.
A penny dropped.
Dandelion seeds that flow in the wind.
Birthday candles blown out at once.
11:11 Make a wish.
Wishing yes.
Wishing just.
Wishing for you.
