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
