Secret Wishes

My dearest one
I wish I knew
Which of your secret wishes
to give to you.

For only the ones
deep in our hearts,
mean the most
In our darkest hours.

I could give you peace,
love, happiness, a new job,
a new man, money and fame.
But that would be playing a different game.

For you only the best,
only a love that is true.
A love that recognises beauty,
Recognises you.

I have no power
to repair your heart,
but a friend's true love
may be a start.

Just know I will
be there when and whenever,
not granting wishes,
but understanding your need.

I'll hold your hand,
wipe your tears,
listen to your darkest thoughts
and deepest fears.

I'll be there to help you
find your new light.
I'm always your friend
don't give up the fight.
