As You Are Not Here

I wish you were mine,

So I could have gifted you

All the roses

This world can have.

I wish you were mine,

So I could have made the dishes

Which would have surprised you

And had a kiss in exchange

I wish you were mine,

So, I could have been yours,

We would have been related

And discovered each other.

I wish you were mine,

So I could have been able

To take care of you,

And have the pleasure of making you happy.

I wish you were mine,

So we could have talked

The things you never talked to me

And I would have taken you to my secret garden.

I wish you were mine,

So I could have hugged you

When you needed one

Without your permission.

I wish you were mine

So I could have taken all your anger

And kissed you

if not able to take.

I wish you were mine,

So I could have touched you

With tender, compassion, love

And have known you more than you do.

But you are not mine.

every day I live without you

and go to sleep

hoping you will be here,

I will be able to go to sleep

Seeing you face.

As you are not here

I wish to sleep

So night may pass

And tomorrow I can wish

That

You were mine.
