It’s like you’re a breath away
so close that my skin feels electric,
heart running fast
desperate for your touch
while fear shivers its way across my skin
I’m sure that if I breathe in deep
my chest will graze some part of you
uncertainty at how this could be
races across my mind
thundering into the spaces
filling them with your presence
lips just a minute distance apart
the warmth of your body close
as the anticipation fills me from head to toe
yet you are not here
some sort of metaphysical bond has begun
who started it
why and how
escape my understanding
all I know is I feel you
so close that I can taste you
in the back of my throat
shuddering as a phantom orgasm
trembles through my core
