Love In Abeyance

If only I could see you
Just once more!
Feel your lips on mine
Just as before.
Maybe, holding you near me,
You would see more clearly
How I’d love you,
If I could but touch you
Just once more.

If only we could speak
Straight from the heart!
Would it draw us close,
Or rend us far apart?
Would it ease this aching hole,
Burning, searing in my soul,
If I could only see you
Just once more?
