I WISH!

I wish to touch you,
Feel you with my eyes.
The warmth in your gaze alone is enough,
To light up a silence 
That only I hear.

Your smile hides in my peace
Yet silence scare,
Fingers freeze on unanswered notes.
Now I’ve grown used to it 
I still find you 
In the spaces between the words.

And my heart whispers, 
Let me just see you 
Let me just hold you 
Tightly
Quietly
In my arms,
Just long enough to remember 
How it feels to belong!
