I wished and wished
And I finally got my wish.
But looking it straight in the face
I can’t go through the door.
Something is holding me back.
This is what I wanted!
Why can’t I be happy now?
Was it just a test to see if it would work?
Was it really my desire?
I’m staring it in the face
But I can’t walk out that door
And go down the elevator to cross the street
Up another elevator and walk through your door.
This was my wish
But now,
Looking it in the face
Something is wrong!
I can’t go through with it!
Why can’t I go through with it?

I thought this was my wish…
