Welcome

And now we’re here again
This point has no back or forward
No push or pull or bend or break
We end up here so many times
I know intimately its peaceful standstill
I can conjure it in my dreams and
Always, it smells of you.
How we end up here again and again
I neither know nor care.
And I’m caught once again in your eyes
Needing to stay away, for the sake of
My sanity, and discretion.
But you pull me in, just like every other time
And where we meet, that’s another place I dream about.
Night after night, tossing and turning,
Waking with an ache to hold you
And always finding my arms empty.
If I squeeze my eyes shut and hold my breath
I can ignore that you’re here
Ignore that you are calling to me
With every fiber of your being.
My body needs to close this hated distance
Needs to know if we fit as perfectly together now
As we do when I’m sleeping.
I need to know if you could possibly be
As perfect as I dream you.
So I for once, close the distance, needing no prompting
And I let myself fall into your arms
And as our lips finally meet,
I am awake, alone again.
