Words Left Unsaid

I wish I could see you because I'm so much better with a smile and a hug than with words.

I wish you could sift through the jumbled mess of my thoughts to see how much your friendship has meant to me.

I wish that you could see every time I thought of you in a day, a week, a month, a year, like the burning flames of so many candles.

I wish I was better at all this so that you could have some idea of the impact our relationship had on me, even just as crude as a handful of sand coating an invisible form, because our friendship wasn't just some thing in the past even if I haven't reached out in so long.

You helped me become who I am today and still inspire me to continue growing.

I wish you could know how thankful I am.

And how much I miss you.
