I Wish

I wish that you were my beau And to have known u thru and thru Wish there was more to do Then giving up on what I wish was true I wish To have heard your violin pierce its sad song Through the crisp cold night air I wish to have seen your soul opened bare To feel its chorus entwined right there I wish together we would always belong That our rivers course had not gone so wrong I wish to hear your violins banter My heart all a flutter Dancing under a brazen moon When good times upon us meet To hear its upbeat tune Making me want to tap my feet I'd love to hear you ramble on About things I know zilch about Of what it doesn't matter I just love to hear you amaze The realms of knowledge I can't even count I wish I could get to know you And understand from where you came That you were more to me Than a half empty name I wish I could hike over mountains right by your side And see the mountain rivers flow as to hide The days when these marvelous giants died I wish I could have known you every single day To have known how you inspire and irritate me in every little way But it also does make me sad to realize We could never lived through each other always telling these damn lies So to sleep to go I must For my heart I cannot trust For it overflows in great pain Not an ounce of love it is to gain But to reality I must retain And do it is that I refrain From calling you from my soul To hear my hearts call But it is always from great heights that the mighty fall So away I go in shame A pointless mind made game That my heart did empower It is me that is truly lame To have hoped beyond the final hour I'm in a dream entrapped Stuck in a thought yet unwrapped Of a place not yet mapped Tis long since the crowd watched and clapped
