I want to drape the page

with memories, love

with wandering thoughts and

painful regret

 

I want to wonder

what I could be, and would

if I took my words and

made them come true

 

or is that unwise?

to wish for a change 

for the dreams to leave my mind

and join the sunlight around me

 

I want to climb the tallest mountains 

and trees

I would fall into the rose bush

to see if I rise unscathed

 

And so what if I don’t?

I’ll have bandaids for my cuts

The only thing missing

will be your kisses
