To imagine you there
As you are
As I see you
In my mind’s eye
I knew it could never be
*****
The clouds whispered their rain
A drenching onslaught
Of feelings for you
*****
I never could have imagined
I’d be able to talk to you
As a friend and
Maybe more
In time
Who knows?
I dare not guess
What it feels like to know
Your most intimate caress, at best
I’ll think of what I want and
Watch it slowly loosen
The fingers of my
Hand
*****
Foolishly
I hold on too tight
I don’t want to lose the ones
I keep around me but
All too often
I do
