If I could just

If I could just feel the weight of your head on my shoulder, hair tickling my nose, as we drift to sleep…

If I could just hear your voice every day, whatever it is you might have to say…

If I could just look into your eyes, just by looking up from whatever task my hands are busy with…

If I could just press my lips into the corner where your shoulder meets your neck…

If I could just feel your heart beat as you wrap your arms around me…

If I could just feel your hand in mine as we walk through town together…

If I could just fix you coffee in the mornings, just how you like it…

If I could just know more about you, know everything…

If I could just tell you I love you, uninhibited by the bounds of propriety…

If I could just hold you… just… hold you.

If I could just see you every day, not only when chance brings us together…

If only we were free to explore this love.

But we aren't.

And I can't.

If I could just find the right way…

If I could just find a way…

If I could just find… any way.

Is there a way?
