Afraid To Touch
I was there when it happened…
Afraid to look, afraid to touch…
But I was there...
Through it all, you still wore your smile…
With your nails and toes all done ( hot pink )…
I was there…
Afraid to look, afraid to touch…
But I was there….
We spoke with no words…
Expressed ourselves with our hearts…
I was there…
Afraid to look, afraid to touch…
But I was there...
Unable to move, unable to talk…
Mouthed the words “I love you”…
And those were the words I mocked…
But I was there…
All I can say is that I was there…
I was there…
I was there...
Too afraid to look, too afraid to touch…
This is what I tell myself…
Wasn’t ready to let you go…
Wasn’t ready to say goodbye…
I was there...
Too afraid to look, too afraid to touch…
But I was there…
