When
if
he might
reach
out
she would feel his
touch
remember when
wait
not just a time
the why
what matters then
has meaning now.
If
when
she might feel
he could
reach
with open arms
cradle
hers are silent fears
his splayed as
words
to substitute emotional
paradox.
When
if
now
he might wish
she
return with her world
he could
he would
her smile
his embrace
together
in a forever world
protect
each other
If
‘then’
eyes in eyes
touch is
sweet memory
now, eternal
is
love.
