Far Apart

How far apart do I have to be from you

to be something remotely valuable,

or even just a stain on your beige dress?

For when you take it off,

every stroke of wind against your body,

makes you quiver and say my name.

How far apart do you have to be from me

so I hear that sound loud and clear

as if it comes from within?

I don’t want an answer,

For the truth will make me believe

that the distance between us is

immeasurable; impossible to cover.
