"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;
and keeps us safe;
- distance.
