A Wish

I know you don't know me
and I don't really care.
I want you to be happy,
but I know its unfair-
'cause there'll always be things
that you can't control.
And you'll wade through that swamp
and emerge with your gold.


There was a time when I used to
think only of you.
I may have gotten through it,
but I can't be sure.
There're too many memories
that try to overflow.
The walls that I built up
may not always hold.


As I dream under the stars,
I wonder who you are.
Because I don't know you,
you don't know me.
I can't know you.
You can't know me.


We're meant to be apart,
we're meant to be away.
For each other we won't care-
that's the way we'll stay.
We're meant to be apart
though I wish we were not.
But what good is wishing
when there's nothing to be got?
