for you

I wish you knew
the way i felt every time i thought of you
or saw your face
your smile
your walk
your touch

I wish you knew how my heart leapt
the dreams that were born inside my heart
every time i thought of you
or listened to your voice
or felt your touch

i wish you knew

how i long to let you go from my heart
as i did from my life

i wish i could forgive the choice i made

that i never said
or the price that i pay

im glad you dont know
for youre happier this way

my stoic sense and self belief

when you follow riteousness instead of joy

how you haunt my dreams
in the silence between the thoughts you reappear
beautiful
perfect
you

i wish you knew
