Just Once

Just once

I want to
look at you
in person
eye to eye
just once

I want to
hear your voice
speak to me
soft and sweet
just once

I want to
reach out and
touch your face
with my fingers
just once

I want to
talk to you
all alone
only our words
just once

I want to
lay with you
between sheets
feel you close
just once

I want to
sleep with you
lay my head
on your chest
just once

I want to
wake with you
warm and safe
kiss you alive
just once

I want to
leave the house
take your hand
spend the day
just once

I want to
walk with you
feel your arm
round my waist
just once

I want to
play lovers
as if we
would belong
just once-
