| I Wish by Jaan Tanner As I look back, I see the times, When I really didn't realize, That I was being unkind, I didn't see it at the time. When we are hurting, All we can see, Is the color of pain, And fight to remain. But now I've had time, To think things through, And I can see, I wasn't fair to you. If only, these words I would say, And I would so change, I wouldn't be this way. I hold in my hand, A little tan band, Remembering the day, It was on my hand, And wishing for the day, You wanted it to stay. And then I wish, That you and I were there. For so long now, I've hidden emotion, I had a notion, That you'd turn away. But you've never seen, The passion in me, I hid it away, Scared you wouldn't stay. But now you're gone, I lost you anyway. I wish you knew, My passion for you. My affectionate nature, I turned away from you, Afraid to lose, Your friendship too. Now I'm lost, And I can't find my way, Can't face the days, So lonely without you. e-mail author |
