I wish I was more than a thought,
but less than a headache.
I wish I was like your favorite song,
instead of just a jingle.
I wish I meant something more than a little,
but a little less than a lot.
I wish I was like your favorite novel,
instead of a small comic strip.
I wish you put me first,
but instead you put me last.

I wish you could see how much better I am now,
Without your smell, your smile, your name flittering around in my mind.
I wish you could see how much happier I am now,
Without your constant nagging about where I am, or who I'm with.

I wish you could feel how much lighter I am now,
Without your body always wound around mine.
I wish you could feel how much colder I am now,
Without your every breath warming my neck.

I wish you could see how much I miss you.
