I wish - a poem I wrote a few years back

I wish you would open your heart to me
and tell me about the things I see
that weights so heavily in your eyes
and that you so eagerly try to disguise

I wish you'd be more romantic at heart
and try to discover the beautiful art
that romantic power extinguish my fears,
frustrations, confusions and even my tears

I wish you would tell me what's on your mind
your secrets, experiences and what else I might find.
I wish you would show me what's truly you
it surely would end my feelings of blue

I wish I could tell what my mind conceal
my inner emotions and what I feel
That if you were gone to another coast
I wouldn't know what I really had lost

I wish you will love me, not only in words
but with caring and touching and colorful birds
with kissing and telling and beautiful flowers
sharing your life within loves strongest powers

You could make me the happiest woman on earth
when you show to the world how much I am worth
I promise you won't feel regrets in the end
our pure love survives and will hopefully mend
each trial and problem we meet on our way
at least that's what I ask for and pray.

I wrote this poem while living in Bali in 2001. I guess me and my boyfriend didn't communicate quite well...!! I showed it to him... but nothing changed. I had hoped that this poem would help him see what our problem was... but perhaps I wasn't clear enough.

I just found this poem yesterday when I was going through some old notebooks!
