Can I? Poem by Patty van Delft

Can I?



Can I just hold you one more time?
Tell you how much I love you
Just one more week…
One more week will do
Can I?

Can I just hug you one more time?
Show you how much I care
Just one more day…
One more day to share
Can I?

Can I just talk to you one more time?
Until the sunset
Just one more hour…
One more hour to never forget
Can I?

Can I just kiss you one more time?
Hold you so very close
Just one more minute…
One more minute without sorrows
Can I?

Can I just look at you one more time?
To make sure that you are alright
Just one more second…
One more second to say goodnight
Oh please, can I?

Can I at least say goodbye?
