If I could reach out
and touch you,
I'd stretch out my fingers
knowing now what a gift you are.

If I could speak words
and know you hear me,
I'd beg your forgiveness
for thinking for one second
love was not there.

If I could be in your company
and see the look in your eyes
telling me you know the depth of soul,
I would wrap my arms around you
and hold you tightly to myself
as if to never let you go.
