I wish I can be happy
alone
like you.
I wish I didn't worry
if you made it to your flight
if you were eating right
if you were sleeping well
and not staying up some nights
wishing there were more
to the life you've always known.
I wish I didn't yearn
to put my arms around you
to rest my head on your chest
and feel your heart
heavier with each beat
I wish I could
bear a little bit of its weight
for you.
I wish I didn't wonder
if you were truly happier
alone
always alone
when we could be happier
alone
together.
