I looked at the silhouette in front of me

And that is all I wanted.

For that night, for that time,

I was truly haunted.

Close enough to touch.

Just not here.

Near enough to kiss.

Just not now.

Mine for the…

                moment of thought

                but not a second longer

Because they’re watching us

And I can’t touch

you without consequences

How can it be so hard and yet

make perfect sense?
