I Wanted

I wanted to hold your hand today, as you stood by my grave side, I wanted to wipe away your tears, as you broke down & cried! I wanted to hold you close, but you didn’t know I was there, I wanted you to hear me, when I said that I still care! I wanted you to feel my touch, as I brushed my hand across your cheek, I wanted to come home with you, to be there, week after week! I wanted you to hear me, when I whispered in your ear, “Please don’t cry sweetheart, I’ll always be right here! So I shouted out “I Love You”, before you left today, I think you may have heard me, because you smiled as you walked away!
