Have I ever told you...
Have I ever told you
that if I sit really still and silent,
sometimes, I like to think
I can hear your heart beating
in time with mine?
Have I ever told you
that when I watch you speak to me
through lines and cords,
and bytes and ram,
I imagine your voice,
whispering into my ear?
Have I ever told you
that I wait out each day
in anticipation, wanting
only an hour or two,
just a second in space and time,
to feel close to you?
Have I ever told you
that there has been times,
when I ached for you, so badly,
that the emotions overwhelmed me..
that I wondered if this was dream
Have I ever told you
that sometimes, I will reach out,
touching your name on this cold
screen before me, wishing
I could reach in and pull you to me?
Have I ever told you
that I would give everything up,
just for one night to be able
to lay near you, to feel your
chest rise and fall with each
breath you take,just to
know that you are real?
Have I ever told you
that I dream of you often,
I dream of you reaching out
and touching my hand,
simply to let me know
that you are there,
and everything is okay?
Have I ever told you,
have I still yet to tell you . . .
that I love you?
