Some men say that there are five senses
But I know that this is a lie
For when our bodies are pressed together
I can feel beyond the nerves of my skin
More than synchronized heart beats and falling breaths,
I close my eyes as the differences between us wear thin

From birth we have an idea
Of where the body lays
Whether in motion or at rest
The distance of various limbs is known
Without a single glance
And now, I cannot tell what is yours and what is my own

We are so close
Wet with whose sweat,
They say you can't really touch anything
Because in between there is always an infathomably small space
But here, I know where you are
And this is something not even physics could displace

You're not my other half
But ****, does it feel like it
When you smile, so do I
And if you're wondering where I am, me too;
Once I'm alone, with this empty sense,
I am so lost without you
