Once
by
T L Taylor
To touch
you, to hold you;
Ah, yes, to feel you.
Losing myself staring into
Your big beautiful brown eyes.
Falling asleep with you
Cradled in my arms.
To awaken the next morning
Still holding your comfortable warmth.
Falling in love with you,
Being in love with you,
Making love with you;
These thoughts fill me
With sweetness and peace.
Alas, though, it will never be.
My life, my mind, my soul
Will be filled with the bitter sweet memory.
Oh, but if it could be, just once.
I could go into the next world happy and content.
To touch you, to hold you;
Ah yes, to feel you.
The softness of your skin,
The smell of your hair,
So long, so beautiful.
To pick the fruit, to taste the nectar;
It is of the forbidden tree.
To be near you, to hear your voice,
Life takes on new meaning.
Your smile lights up the night;
When it is flashed at me,
It lights up my life, my world.
To touch you, to hold you;
Ah yes, to feel you,
Once, just once.
