I Would Touch You

I Would Touch You


I would touch you,
If it were ok to do so.

I would run my hands
Across your face,
Rest my thumb on your lips,
And trace the outline
And curve 
Of your smile.
I would hold 
My palm to your cheek,
And feel the smooth roughness
Of your skin.
I would knit my fingers 
Behind your neck,
And with gentle grasp
Pull you closer
To me.

I would touch you,
If it were only ok to do so.
