October Writing Challenge Day 20: A Wish

I wish I could fly and I wish I could find the star that’s mine

I wish I was beautiful and I wish I could remember that

maybe you and me we already are

*

I wish I could sleep till ten and race the sun

I wish I could collect smiles

I wish I could find a home with a red door and a thatched roof

and a deed with my name

*

I wish I could tell a story that longs to be told and I wish it would

run and find its way back to me

*

I wish I could reach further than my arms reach

I wish I could be braver

*

But no

this is all I wish

that I could tell you that I wished you loved me

and that you did
