I wished I...

didnt have to raise my voice at you.
never made you angry.
could bring more joy to your life.
had shown greater understanding.
had felt less jealous.
could have more time with you, yet less friction.
didnt have to grapple with new-found facts about you.
was blessed with more patience.
could show you how I truly feel for you, coz sometimes, words are more of an obstacle.

If I could paint you my emotions, it would be a simple shade of love, nothing more complex.

But I dont regret having known you, accompanied you, and loved you. My life would have been incomplete otherwise.
