Love Poem: Wishes

Wishes

I wish I knew you way back when!
If life would give a second chance,
would I choose differently then;
take you for partner in life's dance.

But that was long ago, my friend -
I wish I knew you way back when -
we were not us; do not pretend
we each have changed since then - times ten.

The things I faced toughened my skin;
my whole outlook on life evolved,
I wish I knew you way back when;
what if our days on earth revolved.

I smile inside; I would not trade
the life I have, try to begin
again with you this mad parade;
I wish I knew you way back when.
