I Wish I Were

I wish were the words written in your book, or at least be a chapter, or a paragraph.  I would even settle for a sentence.  Is this too much to ask for?  Did I do something wrong?  Is what I say and do offending you?  You seem to have made yourself clear, but I don’t know what went wrong.  How did it come to this crossroad?  I don’t remember going down this road and these white lines that pass by in a blurred sight, seem unfamiliar to me. 

I wish I were the rain.  I could fall down upon you and wash away all the dirt that resides still within you.  I could gently seep my way through the layers, I want to know your goodness and learn. 

I wish I were the sun beating down upon your skin, making you wince back with a second thought, to remind you that with your face towards the sun, your shadows will surely fall behind you.

I wish I were your guitar.  Gently caressing over your strings, spilling your everything in a song. God knows we were always meant for a minor fall.

I wish I were your piano.  Calloused fingers know you well, my body aches to be touched like your piano. 
I want to be your lover.

I wish I were the moon.  An ember glow on the coldest night, whispering winds directing the truth.  In the silence of the darkness, only light can come through.

I wish I were the words you use to speak.  But that has gone into oblivion.  What have you’ve become?  What have I become?  What have we’ve become? My dearest friend.  My oldest friend.  Wishing I was, wishing you were.  But it lies in the past, a past that was laid out before we even had met. 

I wish these words would reach to you, but written word can only go so far.  Hold so much meaning. 

I wish I were the words written in your book…
