## Closing The Distance

There is a unifying darkness between stars  
that cries above our separate cities.  
  
I smile at you softly —  
but it falls  
somewhere  
among  
pixels  
and love.  
  
Touch remembers what time deletes.  
Your scent blends  
like rain on scorched earth —  
hear me.  
  
I have thought through  
every version of you  
in my dreams.  
  
Distance isn’t darkness —  
it’s the pain  
love drops in breadcrumbs.  
  
You swore  
we were over,  
but connection  
isn’t Wi-Fi,  
it’s eternal.  
  
I want to tear through this reality,  
where your eyes  
stare at mine,  
and my need  
is like oxygen.  
  
God  
(or everything that controls time itself) —  
tell me, tell us,   
how many moments   
does it take  
to merge soul to soul  
through the gravity of love?  
  
Until then,  
I’ll clutch at the void  
and pray it smells like you  
as it echoes back in darkness.
