yes

"a tale is but half told, 
when only one person tells it"

if you and i were 
blindfolded
and left alone in the darkness
with no words left to say,
we would never seek to find each other,
knowing that the fire of your touch
would light up the dark,
and we would be discovered. 
i will be content 
to sit in the darkness with you,
share the air with you
feel the cold on your skin
and answer the questions your heart doesn't ask. 

but we wouldn't touch
thankful for the only thing 
that stands between me and you
and keeps us safe;
- distance.
