I Wish You Love

I Wish You Love

Rachael Yamagata

I wish you bluebirds in the spring

To give your heart a song to sing

And then a kiss, but more than this

I wish you love

And in July a lemonade

To cool you in some leafy glade

I wish you health

And more than wealth

I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree

That you and I could never be

So with my best

My very best

I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm

A cozy fire to keep you warm

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree

That you and I could never be

So with my best

My very bestI set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm

A cozy fire to keep you warm

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love.

You don't see me.

But I see you.

Others see me.

But I don't see them.

People see me breathing, eating, walking, talking.

But deep inside it's not like that.

I don't do anything like that.

I am now empty.

As empty because of my own fault.

I drowned myself in you.

But you aren't supposed to drown me.

And now I feel nothing.

How could this be..

Empty.
