From the wish list!

Old Magazine style digital illustration.

I would have preferred
to wake up first thing everyday and see you.
I would have preferred 
not to spend a futile life time just looking for you!

I would have preferred
to listen, hear and trust the magic in your voice.
I would have preferred 
not to forget your face. Now that would've been nice!

I would have preferred
for you to love only me. More than I love myself.
I would have preferred
not to have to pick myself up from the dump - myself!
 
I would have preferred
to smell that fragrance of your hair and pink paint your nails.
I would have preferred
not to wake up middle of the ocean; drifting with shredded sails! 
 
I would have preferred
for time to have stopped at a moment of my innocence.
I would have preferred
to understand your cold apathy. To me it makes no sense!  
 
I would have preferred 
for you to always prefer what I preferred. 
I would have preferred
to be the one for whom in silence you suffered!
 
I would have preferred
to have said a loving last word; though there was nothing left to say.
I would have preferred
to be wrong about you regretting your choices every day!    
 
I would have preferred
to love, hold tight, nurture,build, rise and grow old together.
I would have preferred
not to drop our head on our knees; sob & mourn each other!  
 
I would have preferred 
to have not met & for my peace never set on you my eyes.
I would have preferred
not to be silent strangers; look blank & pray to the skies!   
 
I would have preferred
for you to communicate; be vulnerable & come home - to me. 
I would have preferred
for you to have thought wisely while I still could give 'me' entirely!
 
I would have preferred
to be forever; graceful; generous, kind & abundantly celebrate in mirth.  
I would have preferred
not to leave unfinished; everything to a chance of another birth!   
 
I would have preferred......
