Lying next to you
So often
We could be a thousand miles apart
and never touch each other
While making love
My fingers walk the contour of you body
Slowly
Slower
Softly
Tickling your aura
Touching your soul
but still keeping at arms length
Protecting my heart
While I wait in anticipation to taste you
Your lips
Softly
Softer
Against mine
As my fingers walk the contour of your body
Blindly
Boldly
As they have so many times
Freely
As your breath shallows in anticipation of the inevitable
Our minds wondering
and I know
and you know that I know
that there is no forever for us
There never was
and no happy endings…
