Poem: I Wish

By Amit Rai

March 02, 2021

I wish we could have become the friends that we started out to beMaybe we could have gone the path that I had started out to see

I wish we could have stayed on a bit longer when we crossed our pathsMaybe then the end could have been as wonderful as the start

I wish we could turn the clock back on what was totally divineOh, I wish all the biggest faults were not totally mine

I wish it wouldn’t still hurt when I look backMaybe I should have known then, what I did lack

I wish I knew if you had ever felt aloneI wish the only way to touch you was not through your phone

I wish there were a billion friends like youSo I wouldn’t always realize what I lost with you

I wish we knew the ways of the LordOh I wish I didn’t break down every time I talked to God

I wish we could have tried to make it lastOh I so wish I could re-do the past

I wish we could have used words to fill what was unsaidMaybe I should have listened more to what little was said

I wish we could still call each other as broBut I know I lost that right, and rightly so

Oh, I wish we could have stayed on as friends‘Coz I know we would have worked it out in the end

Most of all, I wish I was there when your tears were shedBut believe me, it was also my heart that bled

Until then I knew we were apartBut then reality dawned that I was not…a part
