By I wish, I wish, I wish
In this rain a pretty girl I see
Drenched and cold, she’d ask
‘Can I walk with you a bit?’
Me being lonely, tired and nervous
Would reply a ‘why not’
And together we’d start
On a 30 minute walk
While walking, an awkward silence ensued
And she being observant, noticed my hand
Tied around, a band and to break the silence
She’d ask, ‘What is that?’
The band, a merch, and me, a fan
Would start answering like in a test
And after a bit more chatter,
Discover mutual topics of interest
We’d talk more, and laugh a bit
Even getting occasional stares
While we reach her home, we’d exchange number
And I’d ask myself, ‘Will we ever meet again?’
Friday night I’d get a call
Turns out it was that pretty girl.
Flustered and stuttering, she’d ask
‘Wanna go for a movie & popcorn?’
Me, nervous yet excited
Responded with a prompt ‘Yes!’
She’d laugh and when we’d meet
All I’d see would be her pretty face.
In the hall, we’d share some popcorn
And like in movies, our hand would meet
We’d shrug, share an awkward laugh
And think, ‘Was this meant to be?’
Soon after, we’d start dating
Maybe even start a family together
But then again, it’s merely a wish
I could hope to have gotten.
