What Only You Could Know

Although I cannot touch you,
I can touch you with my eyes.
I've told you how I've seen yours in the skies.

I wonder what you're feeling.
I wonder how you'd feel.
It would be so wonderful if it were real.

I wish that I could hold you.
I hold you in my mind.
I'll hold the memory you leave behind.

If I could only tell you
What only you could know,
I simply want to love you before I go.
