I Wish That I Was Enough

I wish that I was enough to make you happy.
Id climb a hundred mountains just for you
To be pleased with me but you never are.

I wish that smile could stay for a while because its my
Favorite thing.

I wish you believed that I loved you.
I wish you trusted how much I need you.
My heart breaks everytime you say your leaving me.

I wish for once you would run after me.
I wish you wouldn't let me walk away....
I wish you would ask me to stay.

I wish we could be happy forever
I wish all you ever saw in me was good things
Because I look past the flaws you have and I accept
You either way.

I wish we could run away together.
Fall in love all over again
Leave all the pain and mistakes in the past
And just make a new way.

I wish time could slow down because were moving so fast.
I barely get to hold you like I want to anymore.
We don't cherish how we feel anymore.

I wish when you looked into my eyes it made you quiet.
I wish you could read how much I love you in my eyes.
I wish I could calm that anxious spirit and tell her
Everything will be fine.

I wish a lot of things but above all else
I wish I could make you happy.

February 19, 2014 at 2:29 AM You do make me happy Just by being around The only thing I hate Is when I'm not on your mind. I love you so much You will ever understand Just because I don't show it That doesn't mean I don't care. I do try my best to keep you happy And all I wanna know is that you feel the same way about me
