Njogu_Magz builds this poem from a single repeated phrase, "I wanted," and the repetition is the whole point. The speaker lists everything they hoped to do for someone they loved: write letters, cook a meal, buy gifts, climb Everest, dance on a dune. The wishes start small and personal, then grow bigger and more impossible, until the speaker wants to make the sun rise in the evening and tell every plant, animal and person about their love.
Because every line is in the past tense, the poem feels like looking back on something lost. The speaker never says what went wrong, but the steady "wanted" suggests none of these things happened, or that the relationship has ended. The mood is tender and wistful, with an ache of regret underneath. The ending is the most striking part. After all those grand wishes, the poem narrows to "I wanted you, / I wanted us," which feels quiet, plain and sad.
