The Fifth

There’s this ache in my chest
A pang of negativity
That overcomes me.
This longing that only intensifies
With time that flies
With distance that lies
I want this gap that separates
Us to close
Where promixty
Physically
Is no more an issue
I hate not being there
Close enough to kiss you
On the bad days
On the good days
Anytime occasion
To offer any sort of tangible comfort
My words are all I have to embrace you with
All I have to fill a love bank with
But as much as we are poets
Words are not enough for poets
Passion has to be displayed in motions
That are tangible
Tangibility makes all of this real
At least for a moment
To celebrate
To mourn
To cuddle just because
That’s what we’d rather do that moment
In person
Your face against mine
Experiencing the same time
Zone are no longer wedged between us
But even so
Even if the gift of proximity were given to us
And I could weave my legs with yours
Over an uncomfortable couch
Catching up on shows
Platonic is the road we drive now together
Forever
No more of that passion we can display
No matter how much the rawness remains
My love for you is so great
I want to keep you in some form
Than to loose you forever
And loose myself along
Attached are our spirits
And I don’t believe in coincidence
We were destined in some fashion
In a way words evade
Despite that facts
I still yearn to be there with you
To give you evidence of our friendship
Being much more than messages typed
And random mail sent
To remind you I’m a real person
To remind me that you are really
Crazy enough to stay true
I really do love you
And everyday I pray for your heart
And I pray for your happiness.
I pray for you to be alright
And that your spirit is taken care of.
