i tried
to tell you
that

the distance

was

wide

between u s

we walk
and brush
past
each other
shoulder
to shoulder
a blinding
sharp
exhilarating
gasp
for just
one
single second
we exist
in the skip
of a heartbeat
we breathe
blithely
in
the accidental
touch
of the tips
of our fingers
the memories
seep
sleep-walking
