I wish

I wish I was the perfume still lingering on that shirt
I wish I was the telephone...if only to hear your voice
I wish I was the photograph...for 1 second i was real
I wish I was the holiday...the one you celebrate for
I wish I was the shoulder...the one you rested on
I wish I was a mirror...then would I be perfect?
I wish I was a cloud...now you decide what I am.
I wish I was a match...that never faded.
I wish I was old shoes...that no one could fill.

I wish you were just some poem I wrote…as easily written as erased
