A Wish

I had a thought.
All these words
Tumbling out
Not one
What I really want to say.
Holding something back.
I had a thought.

I had a dream.
Just waiting
By the cafe
Checking
My cellphone for your message
With giddy vigor.
I had a dream.

I had a hope.
Listening
As you tell me
Your heart
Still holds I'd wanted to
Be sure was still there.
I had a hope.

I had a vision.
You and me
On a porch swing
At dusk
Sipping hot chocolate and
Laughing nervously.
I had a vision.

I have a wish.
Snowflakes falling
All around me
As I
Imagine how it would be
If I could see you...
I have a wish.
