Can You Feel Me?
 
Separated by more than distance,
Apart in more than years,
To lay my head on the cold, hard ground,
And dream of your arms, wrapped about my chest,
That is all that I ask,
Is it so much?
 
Just one dance, in the mists of my mind,
I see your form in the shadows on my wall,
As I sit here, miles from home, and think of you,
Of nights we could spend,
Wrapped in each other.
 
I reach out my hand to touch your face,
My fingers, cool against the concrete wall,
The shadows dance, and dodge, and weave,
Can you feel me?
Can you feel my touch?
'Cause I don't want to be alone anymore.
 
Please let this night last forever,
Where my pillow becomes a lover in my arms,
With a touch much like yours
Where the wind calls through the window pane,
In a voice much like yours.
 
If this is a dream, never let me wake,
Is that what lovers are supposed to say?
No, this is not real,
A mist of a shadow of a dream far away,
But I know I can feel you, when I close my eyes,
And I wish you the same comfort,
In the dead calm of night,
When the only sound is the rasp of your breathing,
And your only company is the pillow in your arms,
And the shadows of me, dancing on the walls,
And the whispering wind, sighing through the pane,
Singing, "Can you feel me?
God, I hope you can."
