If wishes were real

I wish that tomorrow

You’d fly across the country to me

But I know

I would regret it

I would love it and hate it

I would make you not love me

If you ever got closer

Because if wishes were real

I would wish that

With all my flaws

All my mania

All my opinions and lust

That I was a better woman

That my many mistakes and baggage

Were good enough

For you to love me back

But since wishes aren’t anything

But thoughts without action

Instead I will settle

For the parts of you I can taste

Whenever you let me taste them.
