I want to feel the beat of your heart on mine Watching shows about people we’ve never known And though we never will, they make us laugh all the same Hoping and laughing and feeling Searching screens and sound waves trying to reach beyond here That liminal space between being and nothing We press in and press together Warmth unbidden but welcome I support your head with my shoulder And you support my heart with your soul
I don't remember writing this. I think I wrote it when my wife was on a reality TV kick and I decided that being with her was infinitely better than whatever was happening on the screen. Love is like that. Sometimes it ambushes me and all I want is to express it immediately. I have tons of these types of things written on scraps and half forgotten folders in my notes app on my phone. I hope you like it.
