together, and yet so far apart. so far. how can we be so far when you are sitting right there next to me. with me. looking at me touching me feeling me. your hand against mine and we're so far apart.

how can that be?

you looked at me and looked away. so far away. as far away as we were close last night, when we lay together, so close. you didn't look at me, didn't touch me (touched me) with your what were you wearing last night when we touched, without touching.

i remember last night we were so close without touching, i lay beside you and could hear your breathing in out in out and my hand reach out (it was supposed to) but didn't touch. i just reached out to hold you, to hold the air around you
