Notes About The Poem

Making a Secret Wish

Sometimes, whenever I make a wish, 
I wish I could read your mind,
To listen to what you think about me, 
But I’m afraid of what I’d find,

Could I handle the truth, the honesty, 
The thoughts kept hidden inside,
Could I handle your secret opinion of me, 
The thoughts you keep trying to hide?

So I change my wish, I change my hope, 
To something that we can do,
I wish for both of us to do fun stuff, 
Fun stuff for just me and you,

Sometimes whenever I make a wish, 
I change the wish in my head,
I change it from revealing my insecurity, 
To just doing fun stuff instead.
