Smiling silently

sweet silence intrigues me...
seeing it I want to hear...

knowing you,
I wish I did.
your thought on my mind,
your smile reflected in mine

I wish I knew you
I wish I knew so much that I could say a word
and bring you joy

I wish I knew you, that i could see your hand
and know your thoughts.

I wish that we were one.

I wish the songs of the sun
brought tears to our eyes
together.

I wish the peace did not scare me
did not make me wonder if you silently hate me
did not make me want to hear,
"I love you" parting your lips.

I wish I could anticipate and fill all your desires
all your needs
all your hopes

but I can't
and I'm saddened.
I wish I could.
