Did You Feel It?

On those early winter nights as I sat besides the window

I felt you come to me and whisper

I felt your warm hand on my shoulder and I felt your words a bit crisper

O darling, it was in that moment that I wanted my fate to seal it

Tell me but once, for that was just a dream, did you at that moment also feel it?

I have spoken to you many unspoken words on nights full of solitude

You were with me every bit of it as I bowed down to you in gratitude

You were but far in distance if miles are any measure

You were separated from me by roads and canals as I unlocked my heart's treasure

Tears flowed over my cheeks but they weren't really mine

My eyes sparkled at the thought of you and that of your sign

There was no one with me to wipe off those little streams as I waited for you to heal it

Tell me o dear one, could you hear my heart call out to you, tell me did you feel it?
