There's an emptiness next to me that you never filled
but I had always wished you did
we caress each other without touching
we're close enough that hairs raise with goosebumps
it's electric
the story isn't happy
no, it's stressful
annoying
difficult
all things that we didn't expect to follow love
before we knew what love was
How innocent we once were
the four letter word is thrown out in desperation
as a plea of "don't leave me"
yet I did anyway
and so did you
we were electric
a beautiful strike of light that would appear and trickle away
slowly

until our next storm begins
