Space Between

The space between me and you.

Is not just the age that separates us.

The distance between me and you

Is more than the miles between us.

It is the yearning that has never been filled.

It is jealousy that has been brewed over time.

It is the relationship with you that I long to build.

All I need is,

Is you to be here.

To feel your love

tracing the edges of my heart.

The years between our births

Created ripples between our souls.

Remind myself of my worth

Until the whispers of my hope

Is drained from my thoughts.

I have waited,

And I have waited.

My mind is weathered and weary.

Yet, I still reach out my hand,

Grasping for the slightest touch of your fingertips.
