I Wish…I Hope

I wish I would have written that screen play with you the way we used to talk about.

I wish our memories together were more than what they are, I was close to you, and when I was younger you were there when the chips were down.

I wish you and I had spent more time together at the end, but Covid was far to dangerous and you were far to sick.

I wish time together wasn’t peppered with time apart. I hope you know I’d always appreciated the way you encouraged my dreams.

I remember the times you were there when I needed you, and I hope you know I tried to be there for you.

I hope you know we will be there for N, in anyway we can.

I hope you know I owe part of who I am to who you helped me to be.

I hope you know you were not only a cousin, you were a friend to me.
