The price of a broken toe
i wish i could be there on opening night,
to hear our song echoing through the theatre.
It'd be like coming home.
i wish i could be there to share in the energy,
to allow my tears to flow through embraces,
to hide my sorrow with nerves.
i wish i could be there to witness your brilliance.
For the hours of pain to be come a forgotten memory
as i lose myself in your art.
i wish i could be there when the lights have gone out,
so that i could share in the euphoric high of applause
and the inner sigh of release.
i wish i could say how you've affected my life,
how a laugh with you has meant more then a thousand shows,
how i'll treasure every moment, every laugh.
but i can't.
What you've given me is beyond words.
All I can do is offer you my thanks,
and softly say I love you.
