I wish to see something bright, I want a shine

I wish to see something bright, I want to see something shine.

By Kevin J. Jacobs


I remember back, smiling on this memory of mine. A girl with a smile so bright, came waltzing right into my life.

With a smile so illuminating, I could tell that this girl was kind.

As I made that last step to approach her, I started up a conversation, and it came to me by surprise.

We were making small talk about beaches, as we shared our non-salted water interest in the ocean, fixated on each other, our words were flowing miles at a time.

How did I get so lucky, I thought, to find a girl so kind?

Taking that one step forward, one foot at a time. To get that one wish which I sought, so divine.


I wish to see something bright, I want to see something shine.

I reflect upon the time. When I had you here. When you came, waltzing into my life.


Just when I thought things were fine, when I wanted to create a new friendship with this bright beauty I sought out to be mine.

Developing a love, that I figured would last a lifetime.

She admitted that she already possessed a love, and within that moment, there I knew.

Great feelings of hope, such as this, was too good to be true.


I wish to see something bright, I want to see something shine.

I reflect upon, the time when I had her here, when she came, waltzing into my life.


As I sat back, to watch this girl that shined so bright, that once waltzed into my life.
I watched with these tears flowing from my eyes, as she walked away hand-in-hand, with another guy.

With my dreams banished, my hope seemed to vanish, and these tears are all I have tonight.

Left in despair, I fumbled as I fought back, the memories that I cried.
With this tyranny ending, there was only one wish I held onto tonight.


I wish to see something bright, I want to see something shine.

I reflect upon the time, when I had you here, when you came waltzing into my life.


If only, we can make such dreams come true.

I wish to see something bright, I want to see something shine.
