Can I Touch You? by Cheeya

So many nights I’ve lain here

And watched you sleep

My hand has a life of it own as it moves to your hair

Yet I cannot touch you

I know my love for you is strong

It’s deeper than the bluest ocean

It’s brighter than the warmest sun

Yet I cannot touch you

Friendship is no longer enough

I want to hold you, kiss you, caress you

I just want to be near you

Yet I cannot touch you

Your eyes are emeralds in a cold sky

Your lips are soft in my mind

I long to taste from them

Yet I cannot touch you

Will you ever realise my love?

Will you ever return it?

Will you ever be mine?

Please… can I touch you?
