Wishful Thinking

I wish 
We could go back
To the way things
Used to be

When I looked into your eyes
And I saw my smile 
Reflected in them

When conversation was fresh
Like the first time
Of our lovemaking

I wish
We could go back
To the way things 
Used to be

When I arranged
Syllables of lust
Across your chest

When your tongue
Wrote erotic poetry
On top of my skin

I wish 
We could go back
To the way things
Used to be

When arguments 
Only visited our lips

And no needles 
Were needed to mend
My heart
Back to yours

I wish 
We could go back
To the way things
Used to be

Back to the time
When I never had
These words to write

Back to the time
When you remembered me
As yours
And I never forgot you 
As mine

I wish …
