How I wish

By Virginia Close

How I wish I could hold your hands;

To go to places beyond my mind.

To the world where you and I

Can kiss and embrace without halt.

In your universe, I could not go as of now;

In your dreams I could not even come.

But that hinders not my love;

Nor prohibits my heart to stop my devotion to you.

 
Ceasing not I to recall the happy moments with you;

For heaven above hails my yearning for you.

With no denial you are now faraway;

Not by distance of land and not by the deepest sea.

 
Your body and soul is now with someone else;

It is painful and not just, but who am I not to comply.

The love given I to my dear sweetheart may not come back;

Regret not I but thankful that you were once mine.

 
I will never permit my soul to wonder;

Thus, yonder without destination to go.

No obstruction could standstill that my spirit could not break;

To reach your heart and continue my quest.

 
Even if the fluorite may no longer glow in the dark;

And the many facets of diamond loses its sparks.  

Your irresistible charm that melts my heart;

I will forever pray and asked God — for you to befall on my lap.
