I Wish

I wish I could see your face,
Touch beauty God created.
I'd do anything to hear your voice,
Hold your hand.
Are these the last words,
Ever to be stated?
I wish I could know what would happen,
If you were to hear me whisper your name.
Yearnings of the past,
Foolish girl.
Things can never remain the same.
The dying wish,
To taste your lips.
I shall never understand.
Can you tell me why?
Forever was simply,
Too much to demand.
So many broken promises,
Things unsaid.
Will the echoes of yesterday,
Ever leave my head?
For years,
The pain I felt,
Pushed me to extremes.
The time has come to say goodbye
You are no longer
The man of my dreams.
