I wish I could untie my hand, set it free,
So that if you offered yours again to me
I could accept your proposal knowing that
Our relationship was not ambiguous...

I wish I could open the valves of my heart
And let the love I harbor pour freely out
And cleanse those wounds
That have not mended rightly
Scarring me visibly with melancholy...

I wish my poetry had the potency
To convince you that I love you truly
And that the very place where all things must end
Is the place most likely to begin again...

But, I do not wish to undo what I have done
Because from mistakes made I have also grown
And struggled for wisdom that is essential
To capacity for higher potential...

I wish the greatest wish of all, for true love
For this I have waited to know when it comes
It shall be genuine and not misleading
Candid, not disguised-playful, not deceiving...
