Sinful Pleasures's blog: "Have I Told You"

Have I Ever



Have I ever told you
that if I sit really 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 bites and ram,
I imagine your voice whispering in 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 emotions overwhelmed me and so I sat and cried?

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 after the first tme I heard your the sound of your voice.
thousand miles away,
I sat up all night,
turning the conversation over and over in my mind examining it,
like some newly discovered species of flower?

Have I ever told you
that I would give up everything,
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 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 ?
