Things I Wish For You

The sting 
Will never 
Completely go away 

But I smile 
At the thought 
Of your happiness 

I hope 
You kiss 
her forehead 

With a whispered “I love you”
Before her alarm 
Stomps across the hardwood floor 

I hope you 
Leave a cute note for her 
On the fridge 

With the silly nickname 
She gave you 
When you first met 

I hope 
You 
Surprise her 

When that time comes 
And you end up 
With blue paint all over your clothes 

And she cries 
Standing in the doorway 
As she sees her old crib in the corner 

Feeling 
This burst of happiness 
She has never known before 

Staring at the ceiling every night 
Toying with the idea 
Of you and forever 

Falling into 
The seamless 
Blend of routines 

Like
It was 
Just meant to click 

When she 
Used to dramatically vocalize 
How trivial love was 

How unnerving 
The sound
of heartbreak was 

But I hope 
She indulges in the knowing 
Her heart is safe with you
