I WISH
And that day
After peeping through the window
For a very long time
Just to have a glimpse of the man I love
I walked back to my room
Feeling sad
I wish I could hold him
I wish I could hug him
I wish I could kiss him
I wish he knew that I love him too
But I saw a white lily
Held softly by someone
I raise my head to see the one I love
Beaming with a smile
I smiled back too
He kissed the flower
And gave it to me
And at once he dashed out through the window
Ever then, I fell in love with white lilies
I ordered for a thousand of them
And kissed them all
Watered them, kept to close to sunshine
The sight of them every morning
Makes me feel his love and affection
I wish he knew how much I valued his gift
I wish those flowers whispered to him
The thought in my heart
But then
The flowers I love so much
Grew old and weak and died away
I can't bear the sight
It breaks my heart to watch them die
But I could not help it
I will watch the stem bend,
And then, they wither
I wish they never had to die
I wish I could make them stand forever
But now
I wish I never fell in love with them
The way I did
I wish I treated them like every other flowers
I wish I ever knew they existed
I wish he never gave them to me
I wish he never kiss them
I wish I could go back to that day
And turn down the offer
But I can't help my wishes
Tho I wish I could.
