An ex-boyfriend's wish list

I wish I had

  proposed earlier

  looked at you once more

  wept more tears for you

  loved the girl within you

  bought you more pearl tea

  listened to you whine more

  seen you smile one more time

  brought you to Great America

  found you a few more quarters

  held your hand a little longer

  snored less when I stayed over

  watched the stars with you more

  scratched your back for you more

  kicked your butt a few more times

  brought your grandma out for a walk

  shared more of my thoughts with you

  cleaned up the spider webs more often

  watched the sunset and sunrise with you

  taken you on a trip, just the two of us

  bought you more roses and gerba daisies

  called you on the phone a few more times

  encouraged you more, and scolded you less

  went out for long aimless drives with you

  bought you a new phone that doesn't go *BEEP*

  made you laugh and smile more, made you cry less

  talked to you more and shared more thoughts with you

  held you more, hugged you more, kissed you more, loved you more

But most of all

  I wish I had appreciated you more



But wishes are just formless thoughts

  Floating like smoke in the wind

And just like smoke in the wind

  Most wishes just vanish

But if I could have just one last wish

  I wish that you happiness and joy
