It’s midnight

Where are you?
Why are you
So far…
farther than you are?
I know…
…
I shouldn’t even ask because l Do know…
…
I think

But if your heart
Is where my heart
Is
All the “I know”s wouldn’t multiply the distance
As they do

As much as our hearts align
They remain so very different:
Your heart needs to forget
Mine needs to remember You
Remember your blue eyes
Remember your fine lips
My heart feels
How it used to feel
To hold your heart
As you hold mine
As much as it hurts to hear your love
From afar
It hurts so much more to hear
Silence
Yes
I need you
Not just this midnight

I need you
Always
