The speaker begins a statement about wishing while awake during a young American life, then stops after that.

The speaker gives the scope of the wish without naming its object. The typed page number and unfinished sentence do not establish a further section or continuation.

A single typed opening, 'Through my young American life I have wished only in waking, / that', in which the speaker begins to name a lifelong wish and stops on the word 'that'.

The sentence sets up a statement of desire with a large frame, a whole 'young American life', and then leaves its object unwritten, so the page records only the start of a thought. The plain typed line and the blank page below it make the break itself the most visible feature of the sheet.
