I Wish...

I wish you could see
the expressions on my face
when I read your words
the smiles they do place

I wish I could feel
the warmth of your embrace
my hand in yours
leading me to a better place

I wish you were near
to wipe away my tears
cradle me in your arms
calm all my fears

I wish I was free
to be who I want to be
to follow my dreams
wherever they may lead
