#timezones
On my watch, worn the wrong way around my wrist, I see what time it is in Mumbai, five and a half hours later than where I live It's only a quarter of a day's difference but on visits to my family there with friends on the beach, or walking along the promenade licking a kulfi ice cream I am years more modern and smarter than here in England, where the students live in a way that has no future in India I can read the time upside down but I remain old-fashioned myself and do not jump from there to here, from expectations to daily worries

Five and a half hours
When you're awake Likely chatting away on Discord. I'm likely tossing and turning Trying to get to sleep. And when I'm up At an ungodly hour in the morning. You're probably asleep. Hugging your pillow, I hope. Halfway across the country now. The distance between us feels further Yet when we talk it feels like You never left. One day, I'll join you And then, finally Our schedules won't be awkward. Instead, they'll be synchronized.

Place
Sometimes I lay on my bed, When you lie asleep, Makes me hate the timezones more and more - But it allows me to think about you more and more. I lay there and I dream of meeting you love, I dream of kissing you the first time our eyes actually meet, Of holding you tight. I dream of the taste of your tongue, Feeling the heat energy given off by your face when I remind you you're beautiful. I dream of holding you tight And whispering some ***** things into your ear, Then you know exactly what I'm insinuating because you'll act uncomfortable. I wonder what will happen, Would you give me a church girl's response? Would you act shy and tell me that you're only doing it for me. Or would you just grab me, And tell me by the means of your caresses that you want to... I wonder if you'll mind, Mind me and my desires... Would you give yourself to me wholeheartedly or would you rethink our relationship? I wonder if you would be mad at me if I forced my lips onto yours in public. I wonder if you'd be submissive to me, or maybe you'd be the one making demands, begging me to kiss you, give you massages, or just to hold you because you want me closer. I wonder if you're like me, One who gets tired of hearing confessions And just wants to feel loved in another way - by another way, I mean I want you to taunt my pleasure receptors. I want your skin on mine, I want to feel you exhale upon my skin... I just want you, A lot...

Everywhere (10w)
I forget its night time where you are, not morning like me, because I feel like you're right next to me.
