I wish,
I could reach out and touch you,
Turn and see your snuggling face,
Listen to your gentle breath.
I wish,
I could take your pain,
Understand your heart,
And touch you part by part.
I wish,
I could wipe your tears away when you cry
Hold you in my arms when you are stressed
Cuddle with you on your couch when you’re sick.
I wish,
I could hear your voice not angered,
See you not strained,
And hold you when you are.
I wish,
I could sleep,
I could say I love you still,
I could stop buying things,
I could see the future again,
And it be good.
Life it seems is disintegrating around me
I don’t think others understand,
I wish they would understand,
I wish you could understand,
I wish I could understand.
But none of my wishes ever come true,
I wish for once you might try.
