touch

So close

I could taste your breath

Feel your your warmth

Hear your heart

But not touching, never touching

My hand, a fraction of an inch

from the back of your neck

Pulling you closer

without touching, never touching

Your eyes, peering into mine

searching, always searching…

Wondering if I feel the way you do.

I do. I do.

Our lips, close enough for a spark

to bridge the gap

and never touching, never touching

Hearts entwined, knotted, combined

but always apart

forbidden

from touching, never touching

draw me out,

pull me in,

break me down,

touch me

touch me

please, touch me
