I Wish I Were A Cigarette

I Wish I Were a Cigarette

I wish I were a cigarette

So you could set me on fire

And I could linger on your breath

I wish I were pocket sized

To offer brief respite

From your hectic life

I could be there with you

When you drink your coffee

Taking time to cherish you

As the sun warms us both

Peaceful mornings offering

Silent and tender regrowth

I would rest between your fingers

Take a few moments of your time

And relish that small forfeiture

I can’t have you to myself

So I wish I were a cigarette

More than anything else

I wrote this because the person that I like got really busy and I can’t see them as often. Im kinda sad about it but I hope in a few months we can pick things up again. If not, at least the heart ache is helping me write
