~Phantom Touch~

I sit here and close my eyes

     -let your voice take me away

Knowing I have to go

     -wanting so much to stay



We live too far apart

     to mingle in the flesh

So we express with words and thoughts

     and online somehow we mesh



Each time I hear you say "good-night"

     it's like a warm embrace

And just as it would if you were here

     it lays a smile upon my face



You relate to me the gentle way

     your fingers would trace my spine...

Across my shoulders - that phantom touch

    ....I can feel it every time.
