My Lifetime Wish

If I could have a lifetime wish,

A dream that would come true

I'd pray to God with all my heart-

For yesterday and you.

A thousand words can't bring you back,

I know because I've tried.

And neither will a million tears,

I know because I've cried.

You left behind my broken heart,

And happy memories too...

But, I never wanted memories,

I only wanted you.
