I wish...

I wish....

to see your face just one more time.

to hear your laugh.

to see your smile.

to feel your arm around my neck.

I wish...

I learned to play chess with you.

we never argued about chores.

I tried those new recipes for dinner.

we took that trip to New York.

I wish...

I could hear about your day.

we could go for a drive, with the music turned up.

I was shopping for school clothes and bigger shoes for you.

you were here to take the last of the cash from my purse.

I wish...

I had hugged you harder that last day.

told I loved you, just one more time.

looked into those eyes and held onto that sparkle.

soaked up those moments, even more.

I wait...

to see your face again.

to hear you laugh.

to see you smile.

to feel your arm around my neck.
