I CAN

I CAN

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 onto the feelings .
Be they warm or be they cold.
I reach towards an out stretched hand
or is it really there?
I reach out toward a loved one
I know that you still care.
I can still smell the perfume.
That you wore behind your ear.
I can 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.
