i love that i am getting
farther away from you.
if i wanted to be close to you
it would be easy...
i don't like anything
that is easy.
i love *******
this long
spacious
gap
i love stretching
testing
seeing how far i can reach
in the opposite
direction.
i love this
big
empty
space
between us
i love how it gets bigger and bigger
the more i pry my heart
out of yours.
i love
how much room there is
for dancing
for leaping
for doing all the things
there wasn't a spot for
before.
i love that i can take
huge
deep
breathes
and not breathe the same air
as you.
i love
that i am not so close to you
that i have to mimic
your every move
i love that my hair
doesn't get tangled
in your fingers
anymore...
you left my hair
in knots.
i love that if you reached for me
not even your fingertips
would brush me
i love that if you yelled for me
i would never
hear you
i love that if you wanted to kiss me
you would be
disappointed.

i love
that i am not
near
you.
