Dear,

I want you to grab me from behind

and hug me like you haven’t seen me in months

(because you haven’t)

kiss the hair near the top of my head

and we could just

hang

there

Next time I see you,

every time I see you,

we end up swimming in the other one

just trying to get a little closer

I guess when you already have a trap grip around my heart

it’s hard not to get greedy for more

trust me, I know the feeling

four days

and you’ll be here

but right now

you’re 500 miles away

let’s pretend the state lines aren’t there

and sleep till next week

and imagine that when we wake up

we had gone to sleep in each other’s arms
