You touched Me

Not knowing what the end would be,
I closed my eyes and searched inside my soul�
Within it's depths, a voice was whispering,
loud enough to shake my self-control�
I closed my ears, and struggled all in vain,
to close the doorways to my mind�
That voice kept promising of all the love I need,
if I touched you�I'd find�

It stayed with me in fitful dreams
and whispered me awake, at dawn's first light�
I still could feel the warm embrace
I shared with you in dreams, throughout the night�
And as I sat there sipping on a cup of
Mother Nature's morning brew�
The cobwebs disappeared and suddenly,
I knew just what I had to do�

I dropped my will and pride, I held my breath,
and then I knew I could begin�
I asked the dreaded question, that I knew would
make or break us in the end�
I've seen the "do you love me?" 's tear the
strongest friends apart, because of fear�
As I waited for your answer,
I could feel my face receive my falling tears�

Then, suddenly, like lover's hands
that reach across the miles for just one touch�
The answer came�"I love you, too, and someday
I will show you just how much"!
My heart took flight on wings as free and gentle
as the peaceful, cooing dove�
Then landed in your hands that touched me,
giving you my everlasting love�

And if by choice of fate, there comes a time
we needn't reach across the skies�
And also, if by fate, we get the chance to gaze
into each other's eyes�
I'll know for all eternity that you and I have
passed this way before�
But now, I'll reach my hand to you, and wait�
for you to touch me,
just once more�
