We are sitting here
under the blanket
quietly aware that
our legs and arms
are touching.
I catch you steal
a look at me and smile.
I try my hardest not to move,
God knows that'd ruin the moment.
For what feels like an eternity,
we are here,
barely touching,
and my heart is beating through my chest.
My hand twitches
and I swear to God
I might explode.
But you pay no mind
and we continue
to be still.
We are silent, frozen
in this moment.
I feel so close to you,
I never want to move again.
