Analysis of Wishes
We spent all day together,
then you told me you wanted
to be with me forever.
I told you I had a boyfriend,
but you said you didnt want us to end.
At first, you sat next to me,
I am sorry but i dont think we are meant to be.
We can be friends,
but i dont want me
and him to end.
You can have the wishes,
but i cant ever be your Mrs.
