I Wish Poem by Oyelakin Gbolahan

I wish I could say more than I love you
Even though you know it’s true.
I wish I could tell you I’d do anything for you;
I’d climb the highest mountain,
Swim the deepest sea,
Cross the widest ocean,
Ride the cloudiest sky; so that you and I can be together for eternity.
I wish I could say more than I care,
No matter what, I’ll always be there for you
For the rest of my life,
And all of my days on earth.
I wish I could say more than I need you
Regardless my endeavours and demands of life.
I need you to be my wife;
I need you to be the mother of my seeds;
I need you to be my counselor, my angel, my only and my heart;
I need you to be my companion, my helper and my destiny-realizer;
I need you to be the only thing I have in the world,
Because when I have you I have all things.
I need you because you are the best thing
That can ever happen to me.
I need you in my life now and forever
To be together, always.
I wish I could say more than I wish
For if life only grants me one wish,
You know it’s cock-true and no gainsay
That you will be my wish;
For if genie appears to me
And ask me to make three wishes,
The host of Heaven can bear me witness
That I will request for YOU, YOU and YOU.
This is what I wish I could say,
But when you come my way,
Your striking, irresistible, conquering beauty
Takes my breath away and leaves me speechless.
When I look into your eyes,
You open the windows to my soul,
You touch my heart and make me whole.
I wish you will make my heart not a visitation
But an habitation forever,
Because I love your touch, your kiss, your embrace…
Please, don’t ever take them away or stay away.
When I walk in the door of your heart,
I’m going to say more…
I wish.
