WHISPERING WISHES

An entry for Lexi's contest

Whispering wishes no one can hear,
a single desire that you were still here.
Though I know you’re at peace, I still miss you so.
There are so many things I want you to know.
I’m constantly whispering wishes.

Whispering wishes to hold you again,
that things could be now as they were back then.
Nothing’s the same since I lost you that day.
The aching within just won’t go away.
I’m constantly whispering wishes.

I’m whispering wishes for the ache that I feel,
from losing you, and scars that won’t heal.
Wishing the emptiness I feel would subside,
along with the feeling that part of me died.
I’m constantly whispering wishes.

Whispering wishes, all that’s left of me.
You were all that I am, and ever will be.
God’s holding you now until I join you.
Faith in that is what sees me through.
Still I’m constantly whispering wishes.
