It isn't enough

We love each other

cautiously.

At a distance, where we

can soak in our own confusion

in our comfort knowing we're safe as we are.

 

So we don't share our matching thoughts--

that we both wonder what could be.

Instead, pretending nothing's happening and pretending we are happy.

 

We're so close

but we keep our hearts apart.

And we

never ever dare

to act like this isn't enough.
