I Wish

by Emily Lynn   Jan 6, 2005


You were the first boy to ever touch my heart
And it goes without saying that you will always hold a part
I handed my heart to you without a second thought
And although we lost the love, the memories we've still got
For almost four years now, we've managed to stay friends
But for some reason, this year, you decided that should end
I used to know you better than I even knew myself
We could talk about anything and it always helped
But now you decide that even friends is too much
And it's so hard to see you and not even touch
You told me that you would always be there for me
But ever since you got with her, it's like you can't see
I've done my best to help bring you up when you were down
But you can't even spare the time to notice when I frown
I'm leaving after this year, and things will never be the same
And when I leave to go to college, will you forget my name?
I don't want to go without knowing I somehow changed your life
The pain of that would be worse that you stabbing me with a knife
We are never guaranteed that we will see another day
That's why I wrote you this, to tell you what I couldn't say
There are other things I have left unsaid for too long
"I Wish" by JoDee Messina, sums them up in a song...

If anyone is trying to recover from a break-up, this song is great. It made me cry the first time I heard it.
