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 …
