3. (wish you were here)

i think about you

all the time,

even though

you’re so far away,

several continents

of distance between us,

but even that

couldn’t make me forget.

i still remember

everything we did,

even though it’s been

five years

since we sat

in the same room,

latest i ever

stayed out

because i just wanted

to be with you.

and i wish

i didn’t leave that night,

i wish i stayed

all those times

you offered,

wish i hadn’t been

so distant

when my head

was twisted,

wish i could’ve spent

just one more minute

with you.

maybe

in another life,

we could’ve been lovers

if i wasn’t

so stuck on another,

maybe

a full semester

would’ve changed

the weather,

another month,

and maybe

we’d have gotten

to celebrate

together.

but that never happened.

so here i am,

missing you

and wishing

you’d come back,

i know you’re home

and it’s happier

than whatever this is,

but i can’t stop

thinking of

what could’ve been,

i’m glad you’re happy

where your heart is,

but i hope

you think about me

every now and then.

i wish you were here.
