Summary: Ennis thinks about wishing after attending Junior's wedding.
WISHING
Junior and her Kurt got married today. It was real nice. He's got a real nice family and nobody got drunk; least ways, not too drunk. No fightin or nothin. Them little sandwiches at the reception tasted like shit but didn't seem like nobody noticed that 'cept me.
Everybody was wishin 'em good thoughts. When it came my turn, all I could think to say was I wished them love. Got to thinkin on that later; 'bout wishin and stuff. If I had me one wish; just one wish, it would hafta be more time with you. One more day of you and me running free up in the mountains; swimmin naked, sleepin under the stars. All those things we took for granted all those years ago.
We were so young then; both of us, tryin to make it in the world; tryin to do what was right; what was expected of us. I wonder; was it right? I did right by my girls; but not by you. Now it's too late and you're gone and I'm alone, just memories of you for company. I often wonder if you ever knew how much you mean to me. Never did say those things to each other. Wish we had. Woulda been nice to hear; to say.
That'd be my wish, Jack, just one more day with you.
The End
Inspired by the song: ONE MORE DAY WITH YOU
By Diamond Rio
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you
Chorus
One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
One more day
First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love yous
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you
Chorus 2X
Leave me wishing still, for one more day
Leave me wishing still, for one more day
With you
