When I lie next to you
I feel the need to touch you
If only to lay a finger on you
would satisfy the urge –
the need in me –
to touch you
I could never be close enough to you
because all I want is to –
touch you
When I see you it makes me smile
and when I think of you it brings dreams to surface
and all I want to know is –
Can I touch you?
Run my finger along you neck
your face,
your back,
just your entire body –
It gives me such pleasure to touch you
I don't know how else to express this desire
but to ask this of you –
Can I –
even if it's just the tip of my finger
I mean –
May I –
have your permission to –
as softly as I can –
touch you?
