bein’ with you is like catchin’ the air
in my wide-open hands
not significant enough to be grasped
that invisible energy bindin’ us
together
I know you can feel it too
only somethin’ popped into view
conventions, challenge, crack
of our maladjusted hearts
your skinny fingers are loomin’ over mine
a reflection of you in me
I just feel
pure comfort in it
that we share
a similar soma
swayin’ together in this jigsaw of life
the warmth of your face
tears through my tenderness
diggin’ for emotions I’ve never felt
for so long
we get along
so well
as if we knew each other
forever
and not just nanoseconds
of our meetin’ here
