11:11

Every day, twice a day, for my entire life
At 11:11 I wished for someone who would love me
I wished for someone who wouldn't take to my back, a knife
But everybody left me be.

I would wish for someone who would care for me
For someone who would treat me like number one
To hold me when I'm sick and tell me how they see
I would cry because nobody wanted me, I was done.

And one last moment, I wished upon that magical time
For someone who would at least pretend to think I'm pretty. 
And make it seem like I was worth at least a dime
To make me feel wanted, it was a pity.

I gave up hope in that special time
Because you never came to save me
I stopped looking for you, I was tired of trying and that was a crime
But then, when I needed you most. You found me, as if it all was meant to be

And I am eternally grateful for you, kind no-longer stranger in a mask.
All those nights, I wished for someone to pretend
But you are so much better than any wish I could ask
You make me realize that I am truly beautiful in the end

You make my real smile come out
You lit up my dying fire inside
And now it is an endless burning flame that flickers about
You fixed my broken heart and broke my solid wall in which I used to hide

And there I was crying on my bed at 11:10
Thinking of what I would wish for, and what I would do
And at 11:11, then
All that came to mind was you
