8th Grade Poems, To and From

i wish i could tell you

i wish i could tell you

that i can picture the two of us:

late nights, pizza, and games,

discussions that are superfluous.

i wish i could tell you

that i dream about you often;

i can't see you now that we're separated,

and it's the only other option.

i wish i could tell you

that i understand what you're going through

and could console your younger siblings

cause i know it hurts them deeply too.

i wish i could tell you

to just say what you're thinking,

and actually get an answer from you

about all of your feelings.

i wish i could tell you

all of this face to face,

so i guess that gives me enough time

to prepare, gain courage, for another day.
