I Wish

I wish ... Dearly beloved I know not too many flattery words, but if I may then I should say; You are as a shooting star, oh how I am continually persuaded to wish whenever I see you from afar. More often I wish I knew of your existence, & between us I wish there lied no distance. They say “it’s better late than never,” but … Wish I had met you first, let you feel the beat from my chest. More than just a heartbeat, kind of feels like a rhythm of love. Wish heaven knew I’d fall hard for you, & prepared comfortable your heart. Wish I knew how to get to you, the map to your heart. Wish I knew to be unique or better yet peculiar, so as to have you not say: ah, all men are the same. Wish I knew to act better, raising no doubts; like maybe it’s just a game. Wish I knew of a method with which I could prove … -That my words are indeed true. Wish I knew all you would want, & lavish you before you could even ask. I wish it was the other way, when you said you were already taken I wish there was another day, when you’d say it was mistaken And how many more wishes have I if you asked? Countless; I’d say, but the figures matter less. There’s one too many, but all in all I just wish I had you, Darling!
