I WISH

That you had taken me to my first prom

danced my first slow dance with me

And given me my first kiss.

I WISH

That you were my first, and my only love,

The only man to have ever touched me

in my most secret places.

I WISH

That I had been the mother of your babies

and you were the father of mine.

I wish we could have shared the joy

of seeing them grow up in a happy home.

I WISH

That I can always be there for you

To care for you when you hurt

To laugh with you when you're happy

To share life's wonders beside you.

I WISH

That you and I can grow old together

And stay together

Always be in love,

Always,

All ways.

I WISH

You were here with me now

So I could tell you...

I Love You.
