I Wish...

I wish it would rain…
It’s cold outside
It hurts to breathe
But all I can think about is rain.
The way it smells as it begins to fall
How simply beautiful it feels running down my skin
The way it sounds when laying alone at night wishing he was here.
Who is he?
There isn’t a ‘he’ that is my own
Someone who I can tell my thoughts and dreams to
Melt into when I am sad or just needing an excuse to be held.
Someone to kiss me quickly
Yet long enough to feel the flutter of wings.
Make me laugh in my dullest moments
To cherish the little things in life with.
I wish I could smile…
A real smile that isn’t forced
Plastered upon my face
Followed by an ‘I’m fine’
Such simple words yet the most common lie.
Not that it matters…
No one really wants to know how you are
It hurts too much to know the truth
It hurts even more to tell it.
I wish someone could see me.
Looking and seeing isn’t the same
Looking is shallow and short
Like a first impression followed by judgment.
I wish someone would discover me
Like an old book on a shelf
With history, baggage, ripped, and mended pages
Being lost, forgotten, and left behind.
I wish you would see me there
My eyes closed as raindrops fall
With face tilted up to the sky
No time to fake it
No time to judge
See me there with all I am
And not think to pass me by.
Oh I wish it would just rain…
