i wish i could hold you tonight
fill our emptiness with silent warmth
i wish i could hold your hand
let my lips touch your palms,
let my palms say all my lips can’t
i wish i could hold you tonight
the spaces between our fingers none
let my arms be your home
your body would find
in the dark
i wish i could hold you tonight
my shoulders are your tears’
to fall on, to fill
i wish i could hold you tonight
even just for tonight
