I Wish - the poem

Welcome to Sacred Musings, a space where I share reflections from the heart on love, life, caregiving, and the lessons that shape us into who we are. My hope is that these words bring comfort, perspective, and inspiration to anyone walking their own path of healing and growth.

I wish I’d never met you.

The day I met you,

I didn’t know

I would never want anyone else.

You awakened something in me.

You made love feel possible.

You activated a part of my heart

that had been asleep for so long,

I had mistaken it for peace.

I’d been longing for this feeling forever.

But now…

I wish I’d never met you.

I wish I could go back

to longing for a love

I’d never known.

I wish I’d never been awakened.

Blah was kinder.

Blah never kept me reaching

for someone

I could never hold.

Blah never whispered,

“Almost.”

Knowing you exist

while living beyond my reach

is its own kind of exile.

So I’ll pretend

I never met you.

Like I never knew

the feeling.

The elevation.

The excitement.

The hope.

The warmth.

The healing.

A girl can wish.
