I Wish
i wish you could have
looked deeper into
my eyes
and knew what
was there for you
i wish you could
have known what my
lips were trying to
tell you but were
afraid to do so
i wish i had held
you closer. that i had
known that one day
would be the very
last time i would
see you
i wish you could have
known what my heart
said each time i saw you
how i felt when my hands
touched your face
i wish i had told you
how it made me feel
when you kissed my
lips over and over
and told me how
beautiful i was
i wish you could have
been braver and therefore
able to tell me what you
were going to do
when you were so sad
and ... i wish and i wish,
and i wish, but all i can see
is you, and how handsome
you were the last time
i saw you; and how i
longed to tell you i loved
you too...
i wish.
