Magic Words

I wish I had the magic words
to bring you safely back (to me)
to feel your touch
to hear your voice
and hold you by my side

I watch your likeness on machines
hear your vibrations in my ears
you’re far away
but oh so close
a sparkle in my mind

I wish I had the magic words
but somehow they won’t come (to me)
still I can feel
your memory
stirring deep inside

Impulses and waves, electricity,
invisible forces, flow in between
I don’t recall imagining
a world unreal as this

Reach out to me from where you are
as I reach out from here (to you)
imagine it’s
my warm embrace
and don’t let it subside

I wish I had the magic words
to bring you safely back (to me)
to feel your touch
to hear your voice
and hold you by my side
