Other Side

I can still feel your breath
on my neck.
your hands on my back.
Smoothing over the creases of my skin.

I still can see your eyes
lingering on my lips.
Your mind swirling with regret.

Touch me.
Hold me.
Kiss me.
Why wont you just do it?

My fingers trace your cheek bones.
But you push them away.
"They don't belong there."

"Why not? why not?
We are connected like the
ocean is to the shore."

"Like the Sun is to the horizon.
I belong to you just as you belong
to me"
But I'm still rejected.

You slowly stand.
Your back to me
your back to us.
you move to the other side of the couch.

I Stare.
You look away.

I can still hear your heart beating.
I can still hear your breathe falling short.
I can still feel the pain in your eyes
when we said goodbye.
