I wish you knew
the thoughts I have about you.
I can't always articulate the way I feel.
I wish I could explain the feeling
I get when I wake up to your face
or the way my heart jumps
when you say my name.
I wish you knew how
I describe you to strangers and the songs
that make me think of you.
I wish I could explain
how you have healed me in ways
I didn't know possible.
I wish I knew how to thank you for that.
