Gregg Marcucci Poet Rhyme

Wish

Wish

I wish that I had known 
That was the last time we’d ever embrace 
I’d have held you until my arms went numb
Long enough for the memory to never erase

I wish that I had known 
That was the last time we’d ever speak
I’d have asked a thousand questions 
Talking until our voices were far too weak 

I wish that I had known 
That was the last time I’d ever see you smile
Watching your face light up once more 
Would make traveling any distance all worthwhile 

I wish that I had known 
That was the last time I’d ever hear you laugh 
We would have celebrated by raising a glass 
And toasting on your behalf 

I wish that I had known 
That we were running out of time 
Because the sentiments that remain unspoken 
Are what haunt those left behind
