Sometimes Twice a Day

How can someone I wished so much for.... be gone

By Alicia AnspaughPublished 23 days ago 1 min read

I wished on Every star,

Prayed so many prayers

I wished for you to be here.

And then there you were

I loved you before you were a thought, I longed for you to be by my side.

I dreamt of all the ways that I would take care of you

How can someone i wished so hard for..... be gone .

Is this really how it had to end

I miss you so much

When its quiet, When its loud

When times are unbearable, when things are going great

I miss you

At moments that i don't choose

My thoughts drift back to you

What would we have been

Would we have been friends, enemies, cohorts...maybe strangers in the end

Would i have had to watch you chase along the dark shadow strewn paths

Or would you have risen to the light

Who would you be now

Would we still talk

Would you know how much i loved before you came to be & love you still

And do you know,

Wherever you are,

How much I miss you every day.

Sometimes twice a day.

I wish you could have known my son

I wish you could have met him

I wish he could have met you

I wish you were here

I wish you could be a part of all that I'm building

But more then anything i wish for your next story, wherever it may be, to be so much happier then this one

I miss you every day

Sometimes Twice a day
