Quidam's View

Can You?

Written 10-23-05

Can your cold hands detect a pulse?

Can you hear the pounding of my heart in my chest

            When I am near you?

Can you smell me as I walk by?

Does the scent flare in your nostrils and remind you of me?

 

Do your eyes capture my smile?

Does your brain register my love for you?

 

Can you take my hand and bring the end

To this tingling in my fingers?

 

Can you ever love me the way that I could love you?
