Learning To Say Goodbye

If I could have three wishes,
I’d wish you back to me,
If only for a little while
So once more I could see…

The twinkle in your eyes, so bright
Whenever you would say -
“Do you know how much I love you?”
Before you went away.

The second wish I’d use to find out
Why you had to go.
No one has ever told me
And I’d really like to know.

It came from out of nowhere,
So much to my surprise,
I didn’t see it coming,
You were gone before my eyes.

The third wish would be special,
That’s why it would come last -
I’d wish that my first wish
Wouldn’t have to end too fast!

I know I’d have to send you back
To Heaven, up above
And when I did, I’d send you with
My neverending love.

I’d make you promise just one thing,
To meet me once again
In my dreams, not every night
But maybe now and then…
