"Can someone make my simple wish come true?
Do you live in North London? Is it you?"
The structure of this poem is a villanelle, and the two lines that are repeated throughout the poem are the ones above. These lines represent a universal longing to have a companion to love. The poem describes five ads in the "Personals" sections of a newspaper. Each person is asking for someone different. However, the intent is the same. The people are all desiring someone special in their life. Since these lines are repeated, they are the focus of the poem. The reader can understand this specific feeling, even if they don't connect with the writers of the ad or the writers' desires.
