Silent World

Donna Lewis

If I could put you, on top of a cake I would ice you ...
and keep you, wrapped up in a box to be near you ...
if I could ...
I would ...
If I could touch you, again with my fingers so gently ...
if I could feel you, breathing in time next to me ...
but the silence surrounds me, flashing memories of you, riding with the moon that night.
I never had the chance to say goodbye ...
goodbye ...
Lost, forever, lost to another world ...
Gone, forever, but remembered in our thoughts ...
You are ...
If I could open, the heavens above I'd be with you ...
if I could hold you, again in my arms I would tell you ...
that ...
I love you ...
