I'll add a line today if you do the same tomorrow
Shifting perspective back and forth from this day to the next
If we try perhaps they can be woven into something that is "together"
Instead of "distant" and "away," longing to be whole as I do.

Blurring lines might help this forced insomnia of mine,
Melding might ease your mind,
If we try perhaps we can fill each others chinks and bruises with comfort
Instead of words caressing in place of hands and lips.

Though I always love your words, I crave them physically.
Watching your lips move in the steady cadence that is yours naturally
and the thrumming and rumble of the air expelling through them
my ear on your chest,
my hand below your moving ribs,
riding pleasantly in time with your lover's lilt.

To know you "now", instead of "then".
With no more "Is everything okay?" because you know.
Coalescing what is separate, into one
My happiness becoming whole because my days are now with you.

So I will add my line today, tomorrow please will you?
If you would like to listen to this as a song go here:
