Touch Me Once Again

Touch me, once again. Just one more time.

I long for your slender tips, running through my hair as you whisper my name.

My skin shivers in delight as your fingers glide along its surface. Your tinkling laugh fills my ear.

I sigh.

Touch me once again. Just one more time.

Locks of your flaxen hair fall on your shoulders. How I wish to wrap my fingers in each soft curl. Your eyes locked with mine floods me with great comfort. I can stare at them forever.

Touch me once again. Just one more time.

Your lips move yet I do not hear your words.I feel your fingers strumming my hair as I lie on your lap. You try to hide it, but I see a tear glisten in your eye

Touch me once again. Just one more time.

You've been long gone yet now you're here. But I know, sooner or later, you will slowly fade once more...

Leaving me again in the cold, lonely darkness.

Taking away the warmth of sunshine you brought whenever we are together.

I strangle a cry as I watch you leave...

Touch me once again. Just for one last time.
