Wishes

How come every breath is a pain?
Like a fish taken out from the water
How come the great foor we used to share
just doesn't taste the same when you're not around?

How come it kills me so badly? - slowly
A wound that I hope would end as a scar
But at the moment, remains a wound
Bleeding continuously, ever so flowing
Sometimes, I even wonder when it would stop
If ever it has plans of stopping

I even just leave the lights on to sleep
Not because the darkness haunts me
But because of the sadness that goes with it
Sadness from within, emulated by the darkness

I know things are better for you
Sure hope it was the same for me
But I guess not - and I know it shows

Hearing your voice was like a breath of fresh air
even for just a short moment
not to own, but borrow

I wish I could hold you
Feel your skin against mine
I wish I could hug you
hold you close, so tight and never let go
I wish I could feel your heart beat next to mine

I wish I could, I wish I could

I guess wishes are for people who don't have anything - but wishes to hold on to
