Loves Me Not

I once had wished upon a star

It soon would all work out

But since, I’ve learned the way you are

I'm not what you’re about

If I’m the tide, then you’re the wave

That crashed upon my beach

Yet you’re the boat I couldn’t raise

A life raft out of reach

I paid attention, watched you close

My ear against your ground

I've been your meds, just not your dose

The cure, I never found

I’ve watched you near and from afar

And studied you in-depth

I’ve strummed the strings of your guitar

Yes, clear across your breadth

We’ve now become an awkward phrase

Same letters, different font

Our ships went sailing separate ways

I’m clearly not your "want"
