I Wish

I wish I had the words to say

How much I miss you now.

I’d tell you all the thoughts I have,

If only I knew how.

Then I’d take you in my arms

And hold you close to me,

Knowing that forever

This was where I want to be.

I wish I had a moment’s time

To get lost in your eyes,

To feel your fingertips on mine,

Again to realize

That you are where my heart is.

No distance can, nor will,

Alter what I know is true;

My love grows for you still.

I wish that I could hear your voice

And feel your heart beat slow.

Sing “Captain Hook” again for me

And tell me what you know.

A shooting star will find you

Wherever you may be,

And when you see it shimmer,

It’s then you’ll think of me.

I wish I knew the words to write

Now that you’re far away

So you could know I fall in love

With you more every day.

Your tender words still echo

All through my aching heart,

And I can’t stand these miles

That keep us far apart.

I wish that you were here with me

Now that you’re my best friend.

But I’ll just wait here patiently

Until you’re back again.
