I could have kissed you
In the garden, with cold hands and muddled stars
My fingertips tracing patterns in the semi darkess - you trace back , you reciprocate
(do you feel the same? can I ever know you?)
I push back baby hairs, kiss your forehead
Night makes kings and fools of all of us
Staring in the quiet, numb fingers pull on yours
(you reciprocate)
(you are like me, but you say so many words, words to make trivial a kiss, yet words to make heavy this night)
Past faces and wandering hands come into view
I loved her, yet what she did was not love
Is this different?
Are you different?
And I could have kissed you ( I should have kissed you ) but a sober heart keeps you not quite close.
I have loved, and I could love again
The future, hold my heart, not missing a beat.
