Press your finger tips against mine (You see in ways I cannot fathom) Though they will never be close enough To truly touch,
For between the fibers of your skin and mine Grows a thickening membrane Of impenetrable strength and power Of keeping your world just so slightly different From mine,
so I can weep in waves of rapture And yet you feel none of it.
The worlds we separately inhabit (So linear, but unable to intersect) Are near enough to interact And allow our eyes to covet That which we cannot reach or understand.
(But what are you, if not my reflection?)
If only I could breech this disconnect, I would pull you in, and edify your soul With the way in which my eyes do see thee, And the way that I do love thee. And perhaps you would love me too.
