Love Poem: I Wish

I Wish

I wish that we had met
When we were very young 
I wish it was you 
Who was father to my son 
Somethings can't be changed
This I know is true 
It suddenly dawned on me
That I can never be with you 
You need to do the things I've already done
You need to marry and maybe have a son 
I just can't see myself trying to hold you back 
I hate the ugly truth of it 
But sadly it's a fact 
And so I'll step aside 
And hope you understand 
I want the very best for you 
You are a special man 
One day I'll see you in the park 
Playing with your son 
And I'll know the choice I've made 
Was the right one 
I will always love you
And I hope that you'll remember me
As the girl who loved you enough 
To set you free
