To take your fragile hand in mine
To skim your skin paper thin
To trace your bones, your risen veins
I want to breathe the air you breathe
To sense your out breath slow but true
To run my thumb across your palm
To feel your pulse, your light, your life
I want to stroke your glass white hair
To pull each strand towards my heart
To meet your eyes piercing blue
To gaze, to dream, to sense, to know
I want to hug you with my words
To give you what I cannot give
To bridge the invisible divide
To reach, to touch, to feel, to love.
