distance and time
has held me from mine
miles not traveled
secrets unraveled
to allow understanding
and acceptance
eyes closed to feel
what has not been revealed
dreaming of that meeting
that first greeting
when hands touch
and chills rush
fears keep us grounded
our lives surrounded
by other responsibilities
commitments
that justify resistance
heart felt connections
bring the aching of separation
resisting urges to call every second
just to hear your silence
longing to dance in your air
closing my eyes to you here
imagining the way you smell
how your skin feels
scared of disappointments
of living up to expectations
of what we have created
still i wish for moments
small captures of enjoyment
and forever happens
just as i imagine
