Missed Chances

I want to open my eyes to see you.

I want to open my mouth to speak.

I want to open my arms to hug you.

I want to kiss you on the cheek.

I want to hold you in my arms.

I want to tell you that I love you.

I want you to know, so many things, which I have not told you.

I wish that I could open my eyes.

I wish that I could open my mouth.

I wish that I could open my arms.

I wish that I could kiss you.

I want us to be together again.

Happy and in love.

But none of that will happen.

Seeing as I'm floating, aloft in the clouds.
