Sometimes I wish I could
Wash away the memories
of the ill effects of love
Ransacking its contents
only wanting to recover
and set aside the good to savor
while tearing apart and discarding the bad
Sometimes I wish I could
Silence the sad notes in a love song
Only allowing the sweet melody
of unyielding devotion to filter through
Cherishing the gift of love’s past promises coming to fruition
Sometimes I wish I could
Edit the sentimental moments in a romance novel
that cause sadness and despair only publishing the conversations of lovers
laying in bed sharing their hopes and dreams
and wishing that each of them have a place in the other’s future
As she lay on his chest allowing his
heartbeat to lull her to sleep
her only disappointment is the thought of the rest of the world interrupting their time together
as they rise to face the next day
Sometimes I wish we could just stay right there……
There in the horizon where night meets a new day When there are no worries,
no arguments,
no resentment,
no pain,
no yelling,
no crying,
no misunderstandings
When there is no need to make up or try to think of what to say
Sometimes I wish I could just sit and only think about love’s goodness
