I Wish.

I am not a poet.

As much as I would like to be, I'm just not.

But I try to be. Though it is not a calling for me to be a literary writer, I try. After all, there's no harm in trying.

I wish you could see
What I've gone through for the past few days
Then maybe you would have been able to take me in your arms and comfort me

I wish you could feel
The sadness I've been feeling
Then maybe you would have shed the tears that were falling from my eyes

I wish you could hear
My call when I needed somebody
Then maybe you would have been there and made me feel I wasn't alone

I wish you could read my mind
At times when I have been down
Then maybe you would know that I needed you by my side

I wish you could just wake up
And see the reality that I am trying to show you
Then maybe you would realize that when I need a somebody...

...That somebody I need is no one else but you.
