I wish, I wish
On this little orange fish
Why can't I have you,
On my wrist?

I miss you, I miss you
I didn't once have you.

I dream, I dream
Your hand in mine
Big holding small
Your arms tightly around me.

I cry, I cry
Without you,
Nothing matters.

I remember, I remember
The look on your face,
Your eyes shining bright,
And then it goes away...

I wish, I wish
On that haunted kiss,
So far away.

This poem is an older one, one I found in an old notebook. It's about loss, somebody gone, and now out of reach.
