You Are There, I Am Here

Joshua Cintron

Distance makes silence feel heavier than it should. This one is for the nights I wondered if she was thinking of me too, somewhere on the other side of all those miles.

You rest there, I rest here. I cannot touch you or
wrap my arm around

your body or kiss your neck. You are there, I am
here. I close my eyes and

wonder if you think of me. Torture lives here
now, as we are apart. Your

touch is quiet, it caresses my name. I shall
close my eyes, litter my dream

with memory of you.
