i wish i could


I wish I could spare some time
and write a few lines for you
recite it to you in the silence of the night
just like I used to whisper it in your ears.

I wish you could listen and smile as I whispered,
know in your heart that I meant each word...
I wish I could hold you close
and feel the softness of your breath on my cheeks
I wish I could skip a heartbeat yet again
as you hold me close and whisper your poem
the one, which fills me with contentment...
a poem without words.

it's been too long since -
we shared moments together.
sharing our poems for one another
you just walked too far away
and I -
became too busy 
with the least important things in life.

I wish, somehow, we could correct this
I wish to write a poem for you,
a poem, 
which could force open the gates of heaven
and let you reach out to me
and allow you to 
fill me with contentment, 
yet again.
