Wishful Love

I wish that I could tell love
To play by all my rules
I wish that love didn't make me act
Like a naive fool

I wish that I could find a perfect love
And live happily ever after
I wish that love didn't include
Pain, jealousy, betrayal, disaster...

I wish that finding your soulmate
Was easier than 1.2.3
I thought that then the world would revolve
Perfectly around you and me

I wish that love would last
As long as you dreamed it would
I wish that love would always
Sweep anyone off their feet like a flood

I wish that love would overcome all
Be more powerful that hate
I wish that I could somehow control it
Instead of leaving it up to fate

I wish that everyone would take love seriously
No brushing it off like a joke
I wish that I could've possibly known
These uncontrollable feelings love could provoke

I wish that love was easy to find
And easy to keep forever and ever
I wish that in love
There was no such word as 'never'

I wish that loved ignored imperfections
From a mistake it wouldn't flee
I wish that outside my own little world
You would feel the same way about me
