I simply wished

Last night I had a crazy dream
I have crazy dreams a lot 
A wish was granted just for me
but lately, I find my dreams 
center around missing things
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
not missing the materialistic things
like 
planes
and cars
and lavish gifts
but making sure 
that I don't miss the important things
But more importantly
The important people

I simply wished, for one more day with you
Maybe it's a sign
But then again,
maybe it's not
One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
Maybe it's Grandpa
Letting me know, that good things
take time
That I can't push things.

That time unfolds at it's own pace
and if I follow it
I won't miss those important things

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I have to enjoy my family
And not worry about forcing a significant other
If he likes me, 
He'll like me for me. 
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you

Until then, I have more than enough love 
from my family. 
Both in blood, and bonds 
I need to cherish
those times I have
and not to forget to hug, and kiss
and to make sure I let them all know
how extremely important they are

One more day
so that in one more day
One more time
I won't regret that the last time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
I didn't enjoy our sunsets,
our talks
our time
But then again
I know what it would do
Because my fear is always about
'that one day'
where those 'one more days'
don't come any more
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
So I'm changing my mindset
Instead of living in fear
I'm going to live in love

Leave me wishing still, for one more day
So that when that 'one day comes'
and the the thousand other 
'one days' before are done
Leave me wishing still, for one more day
I won't regret
That I wasted any of my days
and that one more day
will come
when my other days on here
are done.
