I wish...

I wish i weren't
who i am now
'cause then maybe you
would see just how
much that i love
to watch you smile
& look in your eyes
& talk for awhile

i wish that i was
who you want me to be
& that all my faults
would flow into the sea
'cause i know that you
think of me too
but theres part of me that
i wish all could see through

i wish everyone knew
that perfection's a fable
but because of you
i would do all i am able
to be what you want
and who i want to be
for i love you so
and that is my plea
