the wish

the day ends

empty

without you

here

next to me

you are close

i can feel your distance

my hands outstretched

fingers longing

for your arms embrace

i touch your skin

with lips that speak the words

your mind already knows

to capture each breath

every gaze

that lingers in the open air

every sunrise

and silent moment

with you

here

next to me
