The secret

If x marks the spot then I want what your ex has got.
There are people, that are only able, to see what they have, when they no longer have it.
But I see the prize that you are & I can only hope to one day have it.
If I was granted one wish, i'd wish for you to have three.
In hopes that my unselfishness would draw you to me.
If I could get a few seconds of your time, i'd like to show you what true happiness looks like.
And if those seconds could stretch into sixty, if I could get a minute, i'd procrastinate into an hour.
In case you don't choose me so that I could still say we had a moment that was ours.
I want to dive into the depths of your soul.
I've heard such wonderful stories of this treasure you hold.
And the one thing that has remained constant in every story i've been told.
Is that the treasure that is so heavily guarded, is in fact the secret i've been dying to know.
I've been labeled a fool.
And i've agreed because I am for you.
I'd have to.
To risk my life trying to dive into something as deep as the ocean.
Everything is in motion.
To begin my search.
I can't wait to find the secret to your love so that hopefully I may have your heart...

A good read - wistful longing well expressed. I like the stretching seconds to minutes to an hour, and giving the other party the three wishes...
