Distance

I don't think I'll ever be close enough

to you. Like so close

that I can feel your heartbeat

in every part of myself.

It seems weird to want to

open you up and check out your soul

but that's exactly what I want.

I need to see what you know

and what you've felt

and who you are.

Because right now you're just a name

and a pair of ever-moving hands

that just won't settle

on my body.
