Please keep me close, an atom apart
But don't let me touch, it'll break my heart
Just let me linger, near enough to share breathe
But don't let me close the distance
I'll want to do it again
MM
I think of her all the time
But doubt I really cross her mind
I wonder how she would she describe me if I asked
Would it be with the awe as I'd do when she'd pass

Would she smile at all when she said my name
These thoughts of mine, ****, they fill me with shame
Of her in my jumper, and me in his place
So intimate, they feel ***** to say

What a pointless confession, this one would be
So this soft secret stays safe with me
Though its heavy to hold, and the journey is steep
One of these days, my heart will be free
I play my guitar with a gentleness reserved for you
A light grip on the pegs as I tune
And a soft touch on the frets as I strum
Not leaving a single scratch on the guard
The sound warm from the feeling you bring
I pluck the same way you pull at my strings
The pick always the colour of your choice
I play,tenderly , in the key of your voice
And count in beat with the rhythm of your heart
With the presence of your love
The music can starts
Hold me in the crook of your neck
Ask me what my one wish would be
And watch me selfishly, without hesitation
Cage you in my love
When I say "I'd wish for you to hold me forever"
Let me cradle your love, my dear
Then leave you to grow
I know, I should've said goodbye
But you'd ask me not to go
And with those eyes of yours
You know I couldn't say no
So it was silence I opted for
And a handwritten note
A Wandering Soul Jan 2023
Press your hand against mine
And see how even our scars interlink
Let me trace you fingerprints
And memorise every curve of your identity
So much so that a clone could touch me and it would feel like a stranger
So much so that you could touch the air and I would know you were reaching for me
