FEELINGS

Just what are feelings
Can they be measured
Can they be weighed
Can they be trusted
Can they change
Can we describe them
Can we define them
Yet we rely on them
We go by them
Feelings,
Do you also have them.

I feel the warmth of the sun
I feel the breeze on my face
I feel so good today
I feel I will succeed
I feel I must see you
I feel so confident
I feel my cause is just
I feel this is my day
I feel I will win you.

I feel your hand in mine
I feel your cheek so smooth
I feel the pulse of your heart
I feel your hair in my face
I feel you close to me
I feel your breath on my ear
I feel your heave and sigh
I feel the kiss on my lips
I feel, I feel, I feel you.

Yet when I look in your eyes
What do I feel
Can I feel your heart
Can I feel your love
Can I feel what you think
How do I know it then
How can I tell
What your true feelings are
How you really feel
About the two of us
How you really feel
About just you and me.

Feelings, yes just feelings and yet
The most important message one can get.
