I Wish

I wish I could fly far far away
and leave my cares behind.
I wish I could drive to the end of the earth
and hold your hand in mine.
I wish I could float upon the seas
and wash away what's on my mind.
I wish I could look you in the eyes
and tell you what I feel
I would wish, right there, right then, that you would be completely real.
A mirage in the distance is all you are
I keep moving toward you, but you're always so far
And when I'm finally close enough
to see you as you are
You disappear without a trace
and I'm right back to the start.
I'll never know you like I'd planned
I'll never know just where you stand
If you agreed, or disagreed.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Because the mirage that I thought was you, has fled.
and I've washed upon the shore.
I never floated on the seas
my thoughts were always here
I'd simply learned to turn them out
when I didn't like what I would hear.
I'll never be able to look into your eyes
You'll never know how I feel.
But what hurts the most, is that none of this matter
because you were never real.
