Oh! How I wish...

Some wishes come true,
Some remain forever;
Some are wished never to happen,
Some wishes seem too strange.

I wish if I could tell you,
Tell you the way you want me to;
I wish if I could give you,
Give you the way you want me to.

Is it true, is it false,
What we have within us;
Can we take, can we give,
The one that need be.

I wish if I could give you more,
The way you want it to be;
But I know not how much more,
To give you the more you want.

I wish if I knew how you measure,
Though I am sure I cannot match;
For what I have is not what you want,
And what you want is not what I have.

I wish if I could love you less,
So that I could love you more;
I wish, if I could love you a little less,
So that I could love you a little more.

Strange, as it seems to be,

I wish if I could love you less;

Not to love you any less,

But to love you a little more.
