Wishes for a lost love

WISHES FOR A LOST LOVE
by Sean Williams
(reprinted with permission of the author)

I wish for you these things.
I wish you every moment of happiness
I wish you laughter every day, so that you may know the joy you bring to others
I wish you games and play
I wish you footrubs and backrubs and belly rubs
I wish you warmth and comfort
I wish you footlights and spotlights and light in your soul
I wish you the love of God, so that you may know you are never alone
I wish you food and taste, so you may know contentment and flavor
I wish you naps, so you may know rest
I wish you peace
I wish you success and fortune
I wish you eyes wide open, so you may see all the gifts around you
I wish you candlelight and moonlight, so you may know all good things are not easily seen
I wish you kisses and caresses, so you may know bliss
I wish you snow-covered nights, so you may know beauty
I wish you a kitten's purr, so you may know love given freely
I wish you time, that you may know how fleeting it is
I wish you tea, that you may know warmth from within
I wish you hot baths
I wish you a mirror, so you may see what others see in you
But above all these things,
I wish you love.
For you brought that gift to me, and I can never repay it.
May all these things come to you, so that you may know life.

since you were bitching about no comments, I thought I would say something. But, here is the thing...most of us readers know where this is coming from. Because of this, its difficult (or undesirable) for us to say much of anything.

I feel you dude. I'm just saying that there's a reason why no one has commented.
