If I Had a Wish
If I had a wish I would wish for worries to vanish. I would wish for everyone to be happy.
For tears to disappear,
for pain to lessen,
for grief to fade away.
If I had a wish I would wish for my dreams to come true. It wouldn’t be selfish, I don’t have that many. Only this and that. No big deal. Just that they don’t work out. And if I had a wish I would make them. Work out, I mean.
If I had a wish I would wish for your dreams to come true, too. I mean I don’t have any problems with your dreams coming true, unless you have a problem with my dreams to come true first. And you don’t have a problem, right?
If I had a wish I would wish for people to smile, and love to stay. It goes away too often. Or maybe people do. Or maybe they just have no idea what they want to. If I had a wish I would ask for them to get the idea. Everyone needs an idea of who they are and where they are heading.
I know mine.
Sometimes.
Do you know yours? Mine keeps changing and I have it tough to catch up with it.
Sometimes not. Sometimes everything is fine. Sometimes everything is perfect. Sometimes everything is just as it should be.
Not for long. That one special moment is very fleeting. Sometimes you can sense it is there, but more often than not you just miss it. If I had a wish I would want this moment to stay for a little longer.
If I had a wish I would want everything to be different. Less complicated. I probably would want everything to be just… right. I don’t want to wait for the next life to get what is mine. If I had a wish I would want to have it now. For me, and for everyone else. I am not selfish, no. If I can get my happiness, I would be perfectly fine if everyone else does, too.
If I had a wish I would ask for true and loyal friends. The kind that is never enough. Those who care. And stand by. And know you. Most importantly know you and trust you, believe in you.
If I had a wish I would ask for love that runs smooth, unlike Shakespearean kind of love. Where nobody has to die or get hurt, for that matter. Where you can create your own happiness despite circumstances.
If I had a wish I would ask for answers. Not the complicated ones. Not why the universe is so screwed up or if there is life on other planets. I wouldn’t even ask for reason of our existence. Nothing of the kind. I would rather ask if I can stop going to office but still get my salary. Certainly possible, isn’t it?
At least I can ask.
If I had a wish I would ask for everything to get normal. To make things beautiful. To make LIFE beautiful. I would ask to wake up in the morning and know that everything is going to be alright because I won’t have to choose between the bad and the worse. And I won’t be confused, or lost, or in pain. I don’t want to be tired of trying to stay strong. Maybe I don’t want to be strong at all. Or rather I don’t want to have the need to be strong.
If I had a wish I don’t think I would have asked any of the above. I probably would ask one thing only. Something very special and something very personal. Something that could change life for better. My life. One thing that would turn everything upside down. Or maybe get everything in place. One thing only. Not like much to ask, isn’t it?
If I had a wish… But I don’t.
