Nonsense
No sense of smell
No sense of touch
Oh, how I miss that sense so much
I cannot hear the words you say
In your inimitable way
I cannot taste your lips on mine
The way your arms around me entwine
I cannot smell the warmth of you
And cuddle like we used to do
BUT
I have vivid dreams at night
Dreams that fill me with delight
Memories come flooding in
And a new life for us begins again
The nighttime for us turns into day,
Where you and I can laugh and play,
A place where we can embrace
And look into each other's eyes and face
With love so pure
We can endure
The daylight hours,
Until my life on Earth is through
And my dream turns into reality with you.
