For Ry......

Have I ever told you

that after the first time
I receive a message from you
a thousands of miles away,
I sat up all night, reading your
message over and over examining it,
like some newly discovered
species of flower?

Have I ever told you
that sometimes I will reach out,
touching your face on this cold screen
before me, wishing I could reach in
and pull you to me?

Have I ever told you
that I would give everything up,
just for one night to be able to
lay near you, to feel your chest rise
and fall with each breath you take,
just to know that you are real?

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
that I really love you?
