You could kiss me
But you seem so far away in both body and mind
That I don't think you will

My hand has been outstretched to you for so long that I'm afraid you can't see it

I wonder if I've become a ghost to you, the way you have to me.
Whenever I try to lean into you, I fall into a canyon
Like I somehow missed your body
And then the ground broke away from our feet
But you aren't falling with me

I don't know how to kiss, but you can teach me
But first, become a solid entity, exist where I can see you, even if that's through a screen. Tell me that you will hold my hand as soon as I see you. Tell me you love me, because it doesn't matter if anyone else does. And don't worry about what people will say because I won't let them drown us.

Let me write you a letter, in cursive script.
Practiced, intricate loops, most beautiful when I write your name
Forget that someone is watching our every move like a dancer on a stage.

Maybe we are dancing. Or maybe we should be.

You could kiss me. I wouldn't mind.
Please comment :)


Evan:  It's funny, but when I wrote this, I actually felt like I was talking to you.
