I wish

I wish that I could say
That when I hear you, my soul flutters and sighs
That when I see you, my heart begins to race
That when I think of you, my hopes begin to soar
That when I dream of you, I dream of your angel face

I wish that I could say
That when I’m before you, I feel butterflies in my stomach
That when I’m near you, I feel as though I’m flying
That when I’m close to you, I feel beyond alive
That when I’m far from you, I feel as if I’m dying

All these things I wish that I could say
But these walls are high.

Thank heavens for cracks and holes
In between the mortar
