i guess i'm gonna be a little honest

and say i miss the way your face feels
in between my hands;
the short quills of your porcupine jaw
rough against my raw, baby palms.

i'm pretty sad we can't
touch lips, petal to petal, whenever i get the urge
or stroke your cheek,
just 'cause,
while you're driving.

i can't look into your eyes
without doubting a single thing,
because i don't want you to think
that what's there is more than we have
and i don't want to be mistaken
that you feel more than you allow.

it would be easy to terminate
what we've got going,
but even if we can't be together,
why waste a second in love?

we can't form exposed parenthesis
or increase the surface area of skin in contact

but you can show me your world
and i can show you mine,
at least for now.

it'll be a shame when that stops,
too.
