I Wished For You

Hide and seek, tag you're it,
Running around the campfire pit.
Chilly nights, a gentle breeze,
Without a jacket you're sure to freeze.
I'm in your arms, wrapped so tight,
Keeping me safe from the chilly night.
Roasting marshmallows, making S'mores,
You can't eat just one, have some more!
Loving these moments here with you,
luckily your family approves of me too!
Chasing each other, having so much fun,
I'm not positive, but you could be the one!
Everyone else heads off to bed,
but we decide on a walk instead.
We lay down and look at the sky,
A shooting star passes, you say close your eyes.
"Make a wish, maybe it will come true,"
"What did you wish for?", "I can't tell you!"
On our wedding day, I said, "my wish came true!"
You asked what I wished for and I said, "You!"


The author's comments:
I became inspired to write this piece when I went on a camping trip with my boyfriend and his family. This poem did actually happen except we haven't gotten married yet. That night, after laying in the grass with my boyfriend, I went into the tent and pulled out a pen and a receipt and wrote down what I was feeling. The next day I converted it into this poem which will always remind us of that night. I wanted to share this because as people get older they tend not to look at or wish upon stars and sometimes that is the best way to connect with someone!
