Till We Meet Again

I watch you
when I know
you're not looking
I long to reach out
and  touch the smile
that lingers at the
curve of your lips
My fingers ache to
smooth the creases
that crinkle
at the corner
of your eyes
My hands
want to cradle
your beloved face
and look deep
into your soul
My eyes cry out
to gaze into yours
so you can see
my heart belongs to you
But I sit still
You are not mine
to have and hold
in this life 
So I hope
we will meet again
when it will be our time
for I know
that my love
will endure
across the ages
