I wish you love
Its been a long time. Where have I been? Everywhere and back again. There really is so much to say, to explain what has been going on in my life that has caused much change within me, yet my core is still the same. A smite of cynicism, a dash of irony and a whole bagful of idealist fantasies.
I wish you love. But most of all when snowflakes fall I wish you love. I wonder why it is so similar, so uncannily similar when you do fall for somebody all over again. There is a certain sense of contrive to it, yet beauty.
Some sort of desolate feeling like piano keys echoing. That similar pining and yearning. A burst of emotion, lingering. Always lingering and you try to push it aside, mire yourself in work so you don't remember but you can't forget. When you get an inch you want a yard...and so it never ends, it's never enough. Not with love.
What is different with me? What is the same. This is. How I love. The choices I make I can never regret. Maybe I over think things, but it's ok. I like doing things this way even if it seems silly to others...

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love
I wish you love, love, love, love, love
I wish you love
