all I have is this
words ... to create a world
far away from the one I love
I cannot touch his face
or throw my arms around his neck
I cannot whisper those words I long to say
into his waiting ear
or get lost in his eyes
there is no chance to dance close to him
or find that spot where my head fits perfectly
in the crook of his arm
as we lay curled together
in our bed through the night
but here
I can climb mountains
I can swim oceans
my heart can sing symphonies
my soul grows wings and flies
and for a short time
there is nothing between us
no distance
no circumstance
nothing
just us
and that is why I write
because all I have is this
words ...
to create a world
