I can love you,I can hate you.
I can hold you till the end.
I see you when you're not there.
I read letters you don't send.
I can open up my heart to you.
I can offer you my soul.
I can hold on to the feelings.
Be them warm or be them cold.
I reach toward a outstretched hand.
or is it really there?
I reach out toward a loved one.
I know that you still care.
I can still the perfume.
That you wore behind your ear.
I feel the dampness on my chest .
As from you comes a tear.
I wish you back in person.
Not only in my mind.
A love like yours is finest .
When that love of yours is mine.

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.
