Wish

Wish

Many times, my sisters asked, 

What do you want for Christmas? 

I said, “IDK” and blew them off, 

But tonight, I truly know what it is. 

I reread an email from you, 

And the words pierced my heart. 

Remembering the day, you wrote them, 

Cleared away every doubt for me. 

It would take a splash of magic, 

And a Christmas miracle. 

Because I wish to truly know, 

If you care about me at all. 

Could you see a future with me, 

Is the way I feel for you, 

The way you feel about me? 

Could my dreams become a reality, 

Instead of an endless fantasy? 

I know it is a lot to ask, but, God, 

Could you grant this one wish, please?
