Wishful Thinking

Whenever I ask about her

I'm checking to see how much longer I have 

until I lose you for good

Whenever I encourage your next move

I'm secretly dying inside 

wishing you'd just stay

But I guess I can't complain

I let you slip between my fingers

like dry sand

And now all I've got is wishful thinking

  

And this I will cling to with all my life

because what we never had is the most real thing

I've ever felt

Unfortunately I'm a fearful one

too scared to take action

until it's too late

And so I'm stuck with this wishful thinking

 

And maybe it's just me

but she sounds an awful like me

but it could just be me

because it hurts too much to admit

that you're moving on

soon to forget my

entire

exsistance

i really enjoyed this one, Such depth in this. Great meaning
to back it up.

Maybe just call it 'wishful thinking' - often the title lies inside - sad but lovely piece

I like this poem a lot. I think it accurately captures the feeling of wanting to do something so badly, but being so nervous or scared, that you stop yourself from doing it. I enjoyed it a lot!
