Distance

Distance
when in a famine of intimacy
by Joel Howard, 3.20.19

Not close enough
Far away
Way too busy
Way too busy
Such distance
between us
between you and me
such distance

Never a moment 
passes by
that I don't want
you here
close by my side
true connection
guaranteed
and then partnership
I want intimacy

My reality is 
my greatest fear
I crave closeness
not this distance
