I wish I could touch the skin of you

I wish I could touch the skin of you
and allow the goodness I hold within
to flow through my fingertips into you
and that would be enough

I wish I could turn the key
that winds the clock
that ticks down the hours
and years between us
and make it stop

I wish I could sing my name
into the deepest part of you
the secret heart of all of you
and touch you
where no one knows you even are
but me
and that would be our love.
