Wishes For Fishes

I wish that I were still beside you there
Going where you go, seeing the same,
Breathing adjacent, if not selfsame, air,
Erecting my existence on the frame
That yours lies on; I wish I were.
But since I am not, I must simply say
I want all things to be as you prefer;
I wish the situation, as it may,
Since I cannot affect it, to be turned
To what you would, and be remade by you.
I wish that gone which you would have be spurned,
And that increased which you by choice renew;
And so I wish you worlds of your desire
Because to make them I cannot aspire.
