3 Wishes

I believe we are all here for a reason
People come & go,life just continues to change with the seasons
No looking back,that's not the way to go
The spotlight isn't always so nice,I'd prefer to sit back & chill on the low
Why do we hold on to things we should have let go
Maybe that's because deep down inside,we don't really know
And the feeling of hope is so nice,we're just secretly waiting for it to grow
At night everything seems so calm,sometimes I drift away and picture you in my arm
Then I wake up & your not there,sometimes I feel along the journey of life, I forgot how to care
They say it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission
That's probably why I always choose my own route & never listen
You have to make your own way,don't just follow the footsteps
I just write these poems in hope that at least one connects
Not afraid to fail,I'm not scared of the fall
I just want love,I don't need it all

Sometimes I sit and wonder if wishes come true
Then I wished for a moment with only me & you
At a place where I'm kind hard to reach
'How to love',is more of something you have to learn,you can't really teach
Had a bad lesson or two
But I know somehow all these dead ends will eventually lead me back to you
So I'm driving with my lights off,just driving away
I know it's not my time to go yet,so I know everything will be okay
You can't force things,gotta allow them to just happen
Looking back to day I graduated boot camp,how I never thought that would happen
But that just shows,you can never give up
Because when things get hard,that's when God gets up

What else can I say..Many might wonder why I went away
Let's just say..a heavy heart is hard to carry, and everybody's needs just keep getting in the way
I always put their needs first,and mine last
But I have to think smarter,and learn from the past
Time waiting for no one,sometimes you don't even have to talk,just get out there and show them
People will always say you can't and you won't
How to live your life,like what to do & don't
But we all have one life to live
So take only what you need to take,and give all you can give
They say never have regrets,but I think regrets are fine
Just don't give up on yourself,don't leave your future behind
And I only used one wish,so I'll give my last two to you
Just promise me before I do,that you'll go out there & grab life by the horns and do all
That you wish to do~
