still for the same person

i wish i could talk to you
so that you'll not be alone.
i wish i could hold your hand
so that you'll feel safe.
i wish i could hug you
so that you'll know i'm here for you.
i wish i could dry those tears
so that you'll know i care for you
i wish i could make you smile
so that you'll never cry again.
i wish i could kiss your lips
so that you'll know how much i love you.
and i wish i could teach your heart
so that it's me you will love instead of her.
