I wish I loved a poet
so I could be immortalized in words
so stories about me could be written in verse
just once
I wish I loved a poet
so I could be an inspiration
just once
I wish I loved a poet
so I could be the writer
just once
I wish I loved a poet
so I could help them when they realize
that the world of dreams is just that
I wish I loved a poet
so I could teach them of reality
of the beauty and the pain and the mystery
I wish I loved a poet
so I could show them the stars
so I could teach them how to reach them
I wish I loved a poet
so we could watch the night
and wonder
just once
