I wish

I wish I could.
I wish I had the strength.
I wish I had the power
To let you go.

I've tried.
I've put the memories in a box
And put it under my bed.
Not too long after that,
I pulled them back out,
And relived every moment,
Step by step.

I drove as far as I could drive.
I outlined the county,
I went as fast as I could.
I tried to get away,
But I ended up where we first met.

I gaze at the stars,
Begging for help.
And the only thing they give me
Is every feature of your face.

I have tried.
With every fiber of my being,
I have tried to turn around,
Walk away,
Let you go.
But something inside of me
Always stops that.

I wish that I were somewhere else.
With you?
Yes.
I wish that it wasn't like this.
I wish I really could forget,
Let you disappear from me.
I wish it weren't this way,
But this is how it is.
I can wish all I want,
But I'll still end up like this.
