Analysis of LIKE YOU SAID
Sometimes I wonder
if it's right,
for me to be the one
for whom you laugh and fight.
But like you said
it must be fine,
I will always be yours
and you will be forever mine.
Sometimes I wonder
if it's ok for me to make,
wishes that are
just for your sake.
But like you said
wishes are prayers,
and these are the prayers of a lover
who wishes for someone she cares.
