Safe Distance

Harsh words and harsh truths

but I can't deny the affection
the smile on my face
the delighted shiver down my back

when you subtly show me more of yourself

Promises of no promises, stone cold realities being clarified

but I know
the thought of me near you haunts your nights

you know
you're under my skin and that your words inspire me

This is not love
possibly friendship
definitely a joy of temporarily sharing each other's lives

from a distance

One day
one of us will no longer log on
