Can I?

Can I?

Can I wade into your mind
To see what I can find?
Allowing it may be a bit much
But, can I leave my touch?

Can I touch the sadness
The hurt, the doubt, the gladness?
Delete the fear and replace it with hope
Can I help you cope?

I will tread lightly about,
Because I know that you have doubt
You’ve let too many in
And fear feeling that pain again.

I promise to just tiptoe across your heart
And leave my loving prints
You won’t be disappointed
With the time that I have spent.

Can I massage your inner spirit?
Can I caress your soul?
In your eyes I see the hint
Of stories yet untold.

Raw, uncut, revealed-
You’ve left yourself wide open.
Can I wander in for just a second?
And heal what has been broken?

 Reviews of "Can I?"
Reviewed by Chris Wright
Reviewed on February 5, 2009
I think Ray J better go sit it down with his "Sexy Can I" single cause yours is hittin a whole lot better. I really like your whole wade in the water theme going on here that is fire. I was waiting for you to baptist whoever you were talking to with a kiss or something at the end of this joint. But nevertheless, the whole piece was excellent and if I were the fortunate soul for whom these words of love were targeted. I'd be like Obama and tell you "Yes You Can!" Anyways I really liked it and keep up the skillz sista. Peace!
