IF ONLY

The Sicilian Storyteller

Denise at GirlieOnTheEdge has challenged us
to write a Six Sentence Story using the word “heart”;
this is my six sentence response.

If only I could touch you,
gently caress your face
and look deeply into your eyes.

If only I could sweetly kiss your mouth
softly like a butterfly on a flower petal
and linger there breathing quietly against your lips.

If only I could run my hands slowly down your arms
and entwine my fingers with yours,
feeling your heart beating against my chest.

If only I could lay beside you
as you run your fingers through my hair,
my bare leg splayed across yours.

If only I could give you my heart
but you are a mere fantasy
and that, I fear, will never change.

If only.
