I Keep Wishing…

…I was things that am not just for you,
I keep wishing I could get a text back but I don’t,
I keep wishing we lived in the same apartment but we don’t,
I keep wishing our offices at work place faced but they don’t,
I keep wishing all dreams will be about you but sadly they aren’t,
I wish I can see through your thoughts,
I wish you could see even a single star in my eyes,
I wish I knew who put those stars in the skies,
And a Galaxy in your eyes,
I wish I could deliver all the rose flowers to your place-
Do you wish to get home one day and get me fixing dinner,
Do you wish you had accepted my first date offer,
Do you wish you had believed when I said I wasn’t with her,
Do you wish you had given in when we kissed at the corner,
Do you wish you hadn’t yelled at me when you were drunk silly in the Uber...
Tell me-
Why do you text me just to test me,
Why say you miss me just to test me,
And when I start falling back in love you dwindle away,
And when I come looking you crouch and hide away,
Can you be hot or cold,
Can you be Medusa or Mona Lisa,
Can you love me or just loathe me,
Can you stop mixing signals,
Cause my mind is now a rainbow of thoughts and I don’t​ wanna loose it,
Let me free from this cage...
