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.
