Have I ever told you???

Have I ever told you
that when I sit really still and silent,
sometimes... I like to think that
I can hear your heart
beating in time with mine?

Have I ever told you
that when ever you got in touch with me
through words and sounds….,
through lines and cords and bytes and ram,
I imagine your voice, whispering into my ear?

Have I ever told you
that I wait out each day in anticipation,
wanting only an hour or two,
or just a second in space and time…..
to feel your presence in my life?

Have I ever told you
that there has been times,
when I ached for you, ached for you so badly,
that the emotions overwhelmed me…
and so I sat alone and thought?

Have I ever told you
that sometimes, I reach out to touch your name
in my telephone list or on this cold screen before me,
wishing I could reach in
where ever you are and pull you to me?

Have I ever told you
that every time I heard the sound of your voice,
thousands of miles away,
I sat up all night,
turning the conversation over and over in my mind?

Have I ever told you
that I dream of you often,
I dream of you reaching out and touching my hand,
simply to let me know
that you are there,and everything is okay?

Have I ever told you,
or have I still yet to tell you ….???
