I Can Still Want To

I know that I can’t l hold your hand so tight Just the way I used to do And I can’t kiss away your tears at night But I can still want to No, I can’t watch you as you sleep, my love When the day is through And I can’t take you to the stars above But I can still want to When the lights are low I can almost know The touch of your lips on mine I think you should know Honey, even though My thoughts are way out of line Now I can’t call you everyday at ten And then at twelve and one and two Just to tell you of my love, again But I can still want to I know that I can’t say, you’re mine, my love But I can still want to

A sweet but sad poem, yearning to tell someone how you feel, but not being able to, for reason only you know my friend.. Great poem..
