I Wish (Poem By Nazeerr Adams) Poem by Nazeerr Adams

I wish,
I wish I could return and turn
The wheels of time
To apply what I've learned
If only I knew
Then, what I know now
At least
Then, I'd know how

I wish,
I wish the star aligned in my favor
Just to change one thing
To have everything the way I want
Later
If only I could go back
Then, and now would be different
Better at least
Then, I'd have what is missing

I wish,
I wish you were still here
Just so I could stroke my fingers
Through yo' hair
To hear you say just the random'est things
I'd appreciate it,
So much more but the winds
Have pushed us apart
I wish,
You were not only here in
My heart
