02) Big
When I talk about the space between us
When I talk about the space between us
it’s because I want it to get smaller.
Our toes to touch over leather.
Will you be there? If you’re there.
Will you watch the rain with me? If it rains.
When I say it’s something close to the surface
I mean it’s you, you’re there, you’re right there.
You said you wanted me to say yes so I replied – yes.
From where we sit we can see everyone walk by,
the gas guy, the neighbor girl, her dog.
If we kissed, would they see it? Would they think?
That we’re right there, right underneath each other’s skin.
The space between us growing smaller but
Your hands, big, your mouth, big, your heart, big.
And the way I feel about you…
big.
