I wish I could be a part of your life,
filming you as you learn and grow,
capturing the laughter, the quiet sighs,
the moments only time would know.
I wish I could talk to you every day,
hear your voice like a familiar tune,
share the little things, the big ones too,
from morning light to the silver moon.
I wish I could be just a phone call away,
not miles apart, not lost in time,
close enough that when you needed me,
my voice could be your steady rhyme.
I wish I wasn’t selfish back then,
caught in my world, chasing my dream,
I should have stayed, I should have seen,
how love can slip, how distance fades.
The time we had—I wish I held it tight,
drenched in every second’s glow,
not chasing days, but standing still,
soaking in the love I’d come to know.
I wish I was there, not just in thought,
but hand in hand, step by step,
not a memory that fades with dusk,
but a presence you never forget.
