I Wish

I wish I could see you again.
I wish I knew why I can't.
I wish I had known this was coming.
I wish I could cry more.
I wish I could dream of you every night.
I wish I could touch your face.
I wish you weren't dead.
I wish I had kept your son for you.
I wish I had been a better influence.
I wish I could rewind to all of my missed opportunities and recognize them.
I wish I had spent more time with you.
I wish I had known how to help you when you were sad.
I wish I had been more selfless.
I wish I could fast-forward to the next time we see each other.
I wish I could give your son his father back.
I wish I had more for your girlfriend than a box of ashes and a teddy bear.
I wish I could make up for the kindness that's missing from the world now.
I wish I could hold your hand.
I wish it had been me.
