Wishful Thinking

‪I pray for you on a daily

because I’ve noticed that

you have not been yourself lately.‬


‪You have been falling

for someone else

and as much as it hurts,


‪if that makes you happy ‬

‪I’ll fulfill my happiness

somewhere else. ‬


‪You don’t know that

I pray for you

every night, and it shows,

‪No more FaceTime calls ‬

‪and we’re no longer boo’d

up on the phone.


I already know.‬


‪that someone else has your attention,

and as much as you deny it,

‪I keep this feeling burning ‬

‪inside of me because

I just want to see you truly happy.


‪I am not going to lie

this shit hurts,


‪But I pray to God one day you

will not regret this as a mistake.

‪I pray that God makes you see

my true colors instead.


That my red is how madly in love

I want to be with you‬.


‪That my blue is how sad I get

when I’m not near you,


And that my yellow is how

much joy, and comfort

I feel around you.‬


‪But you won’t.‬


‪I pray that you see,

at least one day,


how nothing from my

heart meant malice,

that the words I spoke

to you were genuine.

And that my love for you

Is all that ever transpired.



‪I will never stop praying for you,


Because I know God

will always protect you

like I could’ve,


He will always guide you,

and never neglect you

like I should’ve,


And he will definitely fulfill

the fire in you because I know

I wasn’t enough for you,


I am sorry for that.


I will, however one day, stop

praying for you to love me,

And I pray that day comes soon,


Because If we’re being honest,

that’s just wishful thinking.
