I feel you walking softly through the recesses of my soul,
Gently touching here and there leaving echoes of where you've been.
I feel you silently calling my name, beckoning me towards you,
Yet as I arrive to where you have been you are no longer there.

I feel you uncovering my most tender and intimate secrets,
Soothing my so severely damaged and broken heart.
I feel you there beside me yet when I look I see no one,
I touch no one, I smell no one yet I know you are there.
I feel you illuminating the darkest corners of my existence
Yet I still can not see your face or touch your being.

I feel you so deeply that I try to run and hide to no avail,
As I am so hopelessly defenseless within your intimate gaze.
I feel you holding me back from fear filled flight,
Even though I have no where to run or hide.

I feel you there,
Quieting this terrified wounded entity deep within me.
I feel you tenderly holding me,
through the tears and pain.
I feel you deep within me and ask,
When I will ever see you, touch you, meet you?
When will I ever feel you.........
