I touched you.
\nI don’t know how, but I know
\nI touched you.
\nI expected that if I leaned against you,
\nLike I’d done so often when we were together,
\nI’d fall.
\nAnd you’d never even know,
\nLike when you walked through me
\nA moment before.
\nBut for one moment, I was there,
\nWithout even Leaping,
\nI reached across time
\nAnd touched you.
\nI just wish I knew how.<\/p>\n
Did you feel it, Beth?
\nOr am I just imagining
\nThat my lips really touched your brow?
\nHe Leaped before I had the chance to find out.<\/p>\n
You must have known I was there.
\nYou laughed when I told a joke,
\nYou put on our song,
\nAnd when you danced,
\nYou held your arms just the same way
\nAs you did when we danced together.
\nDid you know I was dancing with you again?
\nDid you know you weren’t dancing alone?
\nDid you hear me ask you to wait?<\/p>\n
Was that my second chance?
\nDid He give me the power to touch you
\nSo I could tell you myself
\nThat I was coming home?
\nI tried.
\nOh, God, I tried.
\nBut you didn’t hear.
\nIf you had, I wouldn’t be standing here alone,
\nWondering why I spent my life
\nLooking for you
\nWhen I knew you were lost to me forever.<\/p>\n
I guess Sam was right.
\nIt was never meant to be, you and I.
\nBut how could a love as strong as ours be wrong?
\nAnd why couldn’t he do for me
\nWhat he’d done for himself?
\nI’ll never understand
\nAnd I can’t tell him how selfish he’s been
\nAnd I wouldn’t even if I could
\nBecause he’s already helped me more than I deserve.<\/p>\n
I hope you know I understand.
\nFor me, all I had was you,
\nYou had life all around you
\nCalling to you to move on.
\nBut if you sensed me there that night
\nWhy did you still give up?
\nDid you know I was saying goodbye?
\nDid I lose you by trying to hold on?<\/p>\n
All I know is that you’re still gone
\nAnd I still can’t let you go.<\/p>\n
But our time together,
\nThe years we shared
\nAnd that one last moment I had with you alone,
\nI will cherish the rest of my life.<\/p>\n
One chance,
\nOne dance,
\nOne moment,
\nOne kiss,
\nOne touch.<\/p>\n
I love you, Beth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
