Under A Star

I make this wish for you,
yet it's the only wish,
I sincerely wish to come true,
my wish that I've been,
wishing every night,
is that you will be happy,
and someday find true love,
I don't wish it out of pity,
or sympathy,
but to someday see you,
as you belong,
happy and in love,
with someone who loves you,
as you do them,
so tonight undera star,
I send a prayer with my wish,
for you that it will come true,
for if it does only then,
I can be in peace,
and internally clear,
of every fear this world can give,
for both you and I.
