The stars are something to behold tonight

The stars are something to behold tonight

A Poem by jbop
"

I hope they help a brother out.

"

I wish they weren't, always, for you.

I wish I was ignorant of your existence.

I wish I could feed my phone to an angry pack of wolves,

just so I wouldn't have to look at its blank screen anymore. 

I wish time wouldn't stand still for you, and the world would keep on turning.

I wish I never fell in love with you, and I never saw those.. eyes.

I wish I never heard a word that came out of your mouth,

and remember all of them.

I wish you weren't so f*****g beautiful,

limiting your soul to an physical state is almost insulting.

I wish I could write you, write you right out of my life,

or into it.

I wish I could be perfection, but more than that,

I wish you weren't.

I wish you couldn't conjure every single emotion in me,

in a single breath.

I wish I didn't fall asleep every night thinking of you,

and wake up every day remembering you.

I wish you didn't make me hungry to be near you,

and starving to be loved by you.

I wish you didn't constantly haunt my soul when I'm trying to live,

without you.

I wish that dark, cowboy twang, and that violin over that bass didn't

tug at my heartstrings, and pull me towards you.

I wish I didn’t physically hurt from wanting you,

because I do.

I wish I didn't think of you each and every time

I am faced with a simple letter of your name.

I wish one of the most beautiful love songs ever written

didn't remind me of you.. and all the others.

I wish I knew what I was doing, here, and what we are.

I wish I knew how to wait for something,

that happens so quickly, I doubt it ever did.

I wish you weren't so stunning, I could walk away,

thankful that you ever came into my life at all.

I wish I could give you up when I say I should,

and you're like a drug was just a cliché.

I wish you weren't absolutely everything there is,

and what would have been waiting for me this whole time.

I wish I didn't believe with every cell in my body,

that we are meant to be, and this wasn't all a crazy coincidence.

I wish every part of this life wasn't pointing to the fact that

you and me were made for each other.

I wish things could go back to the way they used to be,

when you were just you, and I was just me.

I wish I couldn’t write this much about you so easily.

I wish for you at every eleven minutes past eleven, on every eyelash,

on every wishbone, and tonight, I asked the stars for you.

I wish you didn't hold me, with every invisible force,

that keeps me around, without even trying.

I wish every inch of you didn't settle some part of me.

I wish it wasn't too late for all of these things.

I wish none of this was true and I didn't wish for you.

But I don't wish you knew all of this, because I think you're happy,

but in a way,

I wish you did.

every time i watch "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" i always wonder why and how someone could be so ready to erase a love entirely from existence.

this demonstrates that how and why

stunning
