Wishful Thinking

I keep telling myself that I'm fine
Knowing full and damn well I'm lieing
The feelings I have for you I can no longer hide
They are eating me alive
I know there are rules of life by which you should abide
But the rules are keeping everything I feel inside
I can't any longer step aside
And left life keep passing me by
I need to stand up for what I know should've always had been mine
But on the other hand it seems the closer I get to maybe having it
The further I fall behind in getting with you my moment in time
For many years we both have lost sight
Of ourselves
Now it's time to make things right
If you truly love someone it's so very much worth the fight
It's worth the pain and all the tears you cry in the night
The torment of pulling yourself out of bed in the mornings light
As I am writing my words sitting on this bed 
I recall all of the things I had yet once again left unsaid
Here we are once again the ending of another year
We all have a chance to put away all of our many fears
But all I would love most to have if for you to be here
I've been closing my eyes and praying hard
Because I've been told one can wish upon a star
Hope really does go far
Dream what you believe to be out of reach 
Make it imaginable it could happen
And who's to say maybe Gods eye on me will be winking
But then again perhaps it's just my wishful thinking
