I wish

I wish I could set it all aside

And forget it all

And forgive it all

I wish I could do that

I wish we could be together 

And love each other

And be kind to one another

And forget all the problems 

And only have solutions

And not talk so meanly 

And not hate on each other

And only protect each other 

I wish I could do that

I wish you could not be as bad as you are

And break your bad habits

And forget your bad flaws

And not cheat on me

And not lie to me

And keep your promises 

And come when I call

I wish you could do that

I wish we could be

Forever you and me

But there aren't enough pennies in a well to make that happen 

Or enough wish bones

Or shooting stars

To hide the scars

I wish
