Long stretches of roads
lay between us.
You said hello
in a letter—sent
through airwaves,
defying distance and time,
past traffic and borders.
And I wrote back…
Now I’m caught
in this electric exchange
of synapses
in which the world dissolves
and the hours stand still,
and only the words between us
remain.
And it’s a struggle
to stay sane
when I could barely restrain
my thoughts
from going to the private
spaces we’ve reserved.
But I will hang
onto every sliver
of the promise of the day
my lips would lock
with yours
as our fingers intertwine;
the beginning of a tale
that makes all the wait
worthwhile.
