Hold You

I wish I could hold you,

whisper to you how I feel,

when you hold me too...

I am complete in a way 

that transcends my understanding,

and yet, not, since I have felt you

in my blood all my life,

your fire is mine, 

and maybe some darkness too...

but no one knows and understands

quite like you, and I hold you 

in my heart, as I reach out to you 

with my feelings, hoping 

that you'll feel me too...

and touch me back, as you always have;

I want to hold you and feel 

that everything is alright,

that the monsters are gone, 

and insanity subdued in the peace 

which is your touch upon my flesh;

the calm in my spirit,

which is in our embrace...

and I hold you in my soul 

so I can feel you beyond the distance,

apart, but not separate,

I wish I could hold you...
