I Wish
Anonymous

I wish I could tell you, how many times I think about you
Throughout the day and feel fluttery, but I won’t.

I wish I could hide my smile every time we have our silly

Conversations on call, but I couldn’t.
I wish I could confess, I open WhatsApp just to see your

Picture and see if you are online, but I would rather not.

I wish I could express my liking for you which all translates
Into merely caring for you, but I shouldn’t.

I wish I could count you all the instances I feel like talking to

You and yet I do not call, but it’s not necessary.

I wish I could stop my mind from thinking of various things
To say when we meet but it won’t listen to me.

I wish not to worry about you more than what is

Appropriate, but I can’t help it.

I wish someday we meet accidentally, exchange glances,
Smile and walk our ways, but honestly, I don’t want to.

I wish to look into your eyes and read you this only poem I

have ever written but might never.
