Because I Wish
Because I Wish...
Because I wish you were still here, you’re not
Because I wish I could hear your voice, I’m deaf
Because I wish I could see you again, I’m blind
Because I wish you could tell me you’re proud,
I remain relentless longing to hear your words
Because I wish you could meet the love of my life,
I look up to Heaven for a thumbs up; an approval
Of some sort
Because I wish I could send the pain I feel to oblivion,
My soul leaks tears of blood when I reminisce
Because I know you’re happy up there,
Sometimes I stare up into the sky and smile
Because I wish I could hear you again,
I leave my ears open to the chimes of the angels
Because I can’t EVER let you go, I hold on dearly
To your “dichos, sermones, enseñanzas y cantaletas”
Because I wish I could have conversations with you, I talk to myself
Because I wish you could tell me “Todo está bien, Amores,”
I anxiously await a whisper
Because I wish I could be rejoicing next to you,
God has told me to patiently wait…my time will come,
For now I shall make the best of what you and my loved ones gave me.
