I remember standing there
My closest friend
She said,
"If I could have any wish, I'd wish you could have a better life.."
Suddenly, the flames of the bonfire were lively
The heat finally broke past my clothes and touched my skin
Stars seemed to shine
The twinkle was in my eyes again
Moon was illuminating our globe

There was always this safety, reassurance
That I felt when I looked into her eyes
Or stepped into her house
It was family

And I've finally felt that tether that's been there since 1st grade
So please tell me that there's a genie in a bottle somewhere
I would wish for her to find everything she needs in life
And that nothing would go wrong
I'd wish that all her demons would vanish
