space
                 why is there so much of it
      between us
                                               when all i want
is to be
         ascloseaspossible
                            to you
                                            fingers entwined
               palms pressed against each other
                                                 arms touching
                                           i'd say shoulders,
                       but you're way taller than me
i know
                 it'll be a couple of years
    from now
                                       until the time when
we can be touching
in simple and small ways
simply because we can
and no one's here,  to
stop us
