Wishing

I wish I was a mighty vampire and spend all my nights
Staring at your quiet sleep, me and this brown rain.
I wish I was a long old river and wash away your past
And take us on a journey through those sad, sad moments.
I wish I was your secret wish and be reborn every year
Coming back as this deep yellow candle, burning fiercely.
I wish I was. But I'm not.
