I wish I could have met you
When we both were free
I’d love to look into those eyes
And see them staring back at me
I wish I could have known the feel
Of laying my head upon your chest
Snuggled up, legs wrapped around
I bet that feeling is the best
I wish that smile was meant for me
In your candid photographs
The sparkle of your soul shines through
the sound of your infectious laugh
I wish my fingertips had the luxury
Of tracing every inch of your skin
I promise I would memorize every curve
Just to do it all over again
I wish I could make you coffee
Or knew how you liked your eggs
Find out if you prefer pancakes
Or French toast with a little nutmeg?
I wish I knew the taste of your lips
And the softness of your tongue
I have written you so many melodies
To songs that could never be sung
I wish I could feel the weight of you
Crushing my body from deep desire
Your sweat-dampened forehead against my lips
As pure love and devotion transpire
I wish it would’ve been me in white
Walking towards you down the aisle
Committing a lifetime of love to you
Becoming the mother of your child
You are amazing in every sense
So stay with me just a little while
Let me marvel at your magic
Before I walk the lonely mile
Emotions are running deep like a canyon
Sparks are catching fire in the sky
You’re perfect for me but the timing is wrong
So I must say, “Goodbye.”

Excellent write about desire and compatibility but unattainable due to circumstances.

Been there. Sucks wanting things to workout but situations won't allow it. Very much enjoyed the read. 😁

I do hope that you do not dig too deep...although that is where the best treasures are usually found. :)

Thank you. I feel for you. It is hard to acknowledge those types of feelings and even harder to disregard. Best of luck to you.

This is heartbreaking... but expressed in such an elegant fashion. My heart goes out to you. Everything else can be right, but if the timing isn't, nothing else matters.
Anyway, nice writing, Emmaline...

Thank you, NewBeginnings...I can't claim to have ever been one for good timing so I know the feeling all too well. I have, however, learned and loved so many things about so many people. Maybe the timing is just not in the cards for me....and that is okay too. :)
Thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated!
