Bridging the Distance

Poetry

Easy — that’s how it felt to be with you,

Simple — that’s the way it was always meant to be.

Your laugh — it washed over me in softly tuned tides.

My smile — you managed to make it rise up every time.

Time — it ran from us, through our clenched fingers.

Home — it was what we made with each other.

Your sigh — I heard it like a secret in bed each night.

My humor — you said it helped you get through the day.

Friends — that was what we were before love got in the way.

Lovers — you and I melded together as if we were two halves of a whole.

Joy — I felt it when you embraced me like I was a lifeline.

Hope — I wanted to believe this thing we had could last forever.

You and I — we tried to be the best people living the best life.

Love and us — we thought we had all the answers.

In the next life — I want it to be you again and again and again.

Tomorrow may be our end — but I’ll still hold your hand while we wait.
