In this room
It was us
In the shadows of the moon
Past DL Fuss
We were alone
Together in this space
Connect through the phone
Speak cosmic outer space
***, talk, and chill
It felt like it's real
When we were alone in this room time stopped. The most peace in the world could be reflected in that temporary space of background music and ruffled sheets. In this space we loved as if we'd known each other forever and that we would one day find forever. For that one hour of the day we were honest and true in a way I've never allowed myself with any man. In this space I am now alone and hope I didn't make a mistake.

This poem originally was about another man in my life while I started a relationship with someone else. I broke up with that person but as I did the effects of the Coronavirus swept the country and made it so he had to move back home to Texas. The next time we are near each other he'll be at grad school in Boston and Ill still be here. This is dedicated to him and our intimate moments away from the world and their prying eyes.
