I WISH I COULD

I wish I could talk to you,
If only I had words to hear.
I wish I could see you smile,
If only I was near.

I wish I could hold your hand
And walk with footsteps along
On the beaches of time,
Making a mark on memories to hold along.

I wish I could see the sun set with you,
I wish I could dream of being with you,
I wish I could tell you all,
I wish I could feel your presence in all.


I wish I could rest in your arms,
Bury my sorrows and see the new light.
I wish I could be with you forever
Never miss a single lovely sight.


I wish I could look into your eyes,
If only I had the courage to do,
I wish I could tell you how much I love you,
If only I had the courage to do.


It’s easy to wish but to fulfill,
The thoughts that will,
Keep recalling day after day
And return in dismay.

It’s easy to wish but to fulfill
The desires that will
Make my heart look for you
When I know you are not there still...

You are not there in my life,
But you bring my dreams to life
You are not there with me,
But your thought keeps me going.
