Guesses & Dreams

I guess I’m not your baby,
I guess I’m not the one.
I guess I’m not your lobster bisque, your penguin kiss—
The one you fall asleep with on the phone.

I guess I’m not your fairy tale,
Your Princess Bride, your Sleeping Beauty.
I guess I’m not ‘The End’ to
Your Happily Ever ending.

I guess I’m not your girlfriend,
Your Wendy, or your wife.
I guess I’m not the Mother to Atara,
Cinnamon and Mike.

I guess I’m not your lover,
I guess I’m not your friend—
But if guesses were wishes,
I’d guess that you cared.

But guesses aren’t wishes,
And time is too short
To think ’bout the woulda’s,
The coulda’s, the wont’s.

So I guess I’ll just wish
On the stars in the sky,
That you’re somewhere dreaming
And your hearts feeling bright.

Because I guess that I loved you
And I guess that you’re blind
I guess you still need her—
But I wished you were mine.
