Wishes

I wish I could have told you,

In words you'd understand,

I wanted you to stay with me.

This wasn't what I'd planned.

I wish somehow to tell you,

How empty I now feel.

A part of me went with you,

A part that time can't heal.

I wish I'd once more hear you,

As in the morning you would stir,

Could hold you on my lap again

And stroke your lovely fur.

I wish that you could make me see

A way through all the pain,

And that I did not let you down

But set you free again.

I wish I had you back with me,

To fill this empty space.

But one day we'll be together

In a far, far better place.
