You're Here I'm There

The miles of separation.

 

You're Here I'm There

 

You're here

I'm there

~

Chasing shadows

that were left behind

on the walls where we belong

~

Pretending the space next to us is occupied

by a smile that takes up room

in the corners of the universe

~

Kissing the molecules of un-breathed air

in-between the distant lungs

of exhaled wishes

~

Talking inside a conversation

held in imaginary lingo

between two souls

wanting the same gravity

~

Looking over vacant shoulders

to be sure our name wasn't called

by a familiar voice

etched inside like minds

inside tethered thoughts 

~

Wrapped inside invisible arms

familiar with the comfort

of a beating heart

~

Looking at the lights

from a distant horizon

of cities & towns

separating our desired destination

~

Living inside dreams of magic 

made from the moments

left in time

when the future was created

~

For right now

~

You're here

I'm there

But

Somewhere in the future

We are together...

 

Talking about today.

There will be a day in the future, where we are together... Thinking back and we will remember old times and this poem will be one of those. "do you remember when I was away for work in South Tx and you were still in Miss. You wrote a poem about how we would be together one day and think back to that day." Me and you Babe

You're here
I'm there
But
Somewhere in the future
We are together...

Talking about today.

So beautiful! Long distance relationships are hard but when you truly want someone nothing can stop you. And nothing can get in the way of true love :)
Another great piece my friend.

Ah, long distance relationships.. Always a challenge.

Interesting piece.

I like the flow of thoughts and the hope for the happy ending. Separation make us missed people more and the longing hard to bear. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

yes, on this one...those of us in a long distance relationship can relate to this on many levels...

third and fourth stanzas are my favorites....such a fresh, unique way to say what we all have felt so often.
