I wish I could reach out and hold your hand. Wish connecting with me didn’t feel like a demand.

Wish my heart didn’t break every time you pulled away.  Wish that I could just believe that it’s gonna be okay.

Wish we weren’t so mismatched in this way.

Wish I didn’t feel rejected when you only need some space.  Wish my mind would stop screaming that I’ll never be safe.

Wish my life still felt good enough without you.  Wish everything hadn’t changed what I thought I knew.

Wish we weren’t so mismatched in this way.

Wish I could do anything but sit here waiting. Wish this whole ******* thing wasn’t so frustrating.

Wish the tears would do their job and wash away this pain. Wish I didn’t hate myself for feeling this way again.

Wish we weren’t so mismatched in this way.

Wish I could feel okay on my own for just one day.

Wish I knew why things changed and my independence went away.
