I Wish
There are some days where everything fades, simply blurring together. A constant whining in my head, urging me to think thoughts I wish I didn’t. A wishing of things that could’ve happened, and to revoke those that did happen.
I wish you had never sat next to me that night. Or made me laugh at your bad jokes. I wish you never kissed me as the rain fell from the clouded sky. I wish I didn’t fall just for you to leave. Why did you leave?
Every day I hope to sneak a glimpse of you, and every day you disappoint. I crave the sound of your laugh, or the smell of freshly fallen rain. I grieve your blue eyes that encased me in a moment.
I am mourning a person that isn’t dead, just gone.
It was never something, but by God, I wanted it to be. I wanted you to be it.
