I Wish, I'll Be

By darkness_descends

I wish I could take all the pain from your heart,
Or stop it before it starts.
I wish I could dry all your tears,
Do away with all your fears.
I wish I could wipe the frown from your face,
Put a smile in it's place.
I wish I could tell you what's in your future,
Let you see it in a crystal ball so you know it's for sure.
I wish I could defy time and distance,
If only to be with you for one perfect instance.
I wish I could wrap you in my arms,
Keep you shielded from all harm...
I wish you could love you,
As much as I do.

I'll be your strength when you are weak,
And your voice when you can not speak.
I'll be your heart,
When you're falling apart.
I'll be the stars that shine above,
Overcome hate when you need love.
I'll be your chameleon,
Your crutch to lean on.
All these things I will be...
If you'll let me
