I wish I could refuse you,
When you said, “I’ll be waiting for you”.

I wish I could run away fast,
When you said, “Help me to forget my past”.

I wish I could shut my ears tight,
When you said, “let me cry in your bosom and be light.”

I wish I could break myself loose,
When you said, “Let me hold on to you close”.

I wish I could escape your bygone primes,
When you said, “help me forget my failed times”.

I wish, Yes I wish, You could read my sign,
When you said, “Tell me why shouldn’t I cherish the old love of mine?”
