Wishes Come True

Putting Me Before You

By Uluwehi YoungPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Counted all the stars

Figure I'd wish on em for fun

Though the saddest thing is

I gave the same to each one

Thought to myself

How crazy it'd be

If someone else was maybe

wishin' on one for me

Scoffed at the thought

Left it up in the air

Who would be so silly

To put a wish like that up there

Funny thing I realized

That my wishes had been wrong

Foolishly had wished for you

To love and make me strong

When I shoulda seen the truth

And made that wish for me

Cause I myself am whole

don't need another half to feel complete

More nights would go by

And I’d eagerly send my wish anew

Upon the stars once more

Cause the old just wouldn't do

And what do you know

I got exactly what I had wished for

I was strong and loved

More than I ever was before

It was all within myself

found the vehemence inside

To lift and hold my portion

Even without you by my side

When that wish was through

My first would still come true

Cause only after I'd done it myself

you'd end up loving me too.
