They say that we never actually touch. That's it's all electron repulsion and energy between us. But...
i want to believe that we touch
that we defy physics
and your skin
is right next to mine
i want to be close to you
like driving with my left hand
so just I can hold yours with my right
close like studying under two yoga instructors
and a contortionist
just so when we cuddle
i can wrap around you
because spooning just isn't cutting it anymore
close like posing difficult questions to your legs
so i can force them to make a split decision
close like silly putty
i want to stick you and leave an impression of your soul on my body
i'm trying to be more than close to you
i want to be your smoke breaks at work,
correction
i want to be the smoke you inhale
your nicotine,
give me time,
I'm working out how to fit my love into packs
for your purse
i'm trying to glide across your body
like rain streaking across car windows
i want to be the lick of your lips
the moisture in your breath
if i could i would be liquid,
and unite with you,
as the rain unites the earth and the heavens,
or as rivers that unite the mountains and valleys,
as, tears unite soul and flesh
i want to be more than close to you
i secretly fantasize about having a near death experience
just so i can rise out of my body
and step into yours as you're standing over my hospital bed
just so i can see if the way you say i love you
has that same butterfly effect on me
when i hear it from your ears
you see,
i'm dying to fade into you like dusk
till dawn covers us like a shroud
as we lay in morning of yesterdays
in the wake of tomorrows
these passing moments with you are so precious
that they make my mind write them eulogies
in the form of sweet memories
love, you lay to rest all my worries
and can i see you
in crystal clear clarity
but sometimes my heart
it has shitty depth perception
it keeps turning those inches between our fingers into feet
those meters between bodies into miles
that space between us into solar systems
but even then
i know you're with me
and i think about how we can be on opposite sides of a crowded room
reach out our hands to each other
and not understand why are fingers aren't intertwining
when we feel so close
i know there's energy between us
but i want it to be more than that
i want to believe that we touch
on those nights when we would lay in bed naked
just naked
so our skin can touch
hot stick
i want it to be more than electrons
i want to believe that we touch
that we defy physics
and that your skin
your skin
is right next to mine.
