My flesh craves you-
I feel your distance
And know it’s just miles-
That in every other sense of it.
You’re residing in my body.
My mind lingers-
Reminds itself of your heartbeat
And my soul
Cries out
So desperate
For your touch.

This is not love
Or fairy tales.
There’s never been
That sense of awkwardness
Between us.

Just need and satisfaction-
I’ve never needed that hello kiss
And the empty promise of forever.
And I wonder
If you’d ever wanted more.
