To Be Just Us

A deep well of sadness
has just drilled its way
into the pit of my stomach.

As the time passes,
we spend less and less time
alone together.

The opportunities to be near each other,
to reach out and touch each other
are becoming more and more difficult to come by.

I look forward to those times when we can just be us.
No need to hide our gazes
from those who might be watching.

No need to be careful
about where our hands might wander
or if we've been embracing too long.

When it's just us,
we can let our souls hang out.
No need to hide what we are.

I desire the comfort of your company
and feel the pain of its absence
when distance is imposed upon us.

There is a truth that won't be denied.
It is a truth that only reveals itself
in the spaces we reserve for each other.
