For J. D. Poem by Alina Meyer

I want to be with you
I want to be able to hold your hand every minute
I want to kiss you every night.

We are friendly strangers,
Stranger friends.
Lovers?
I wish, we both whisper.

You know all the words to Space Oddity
And I know all of them too
And we sing them together
And I cry because it is the pain I feel when I have been lost.

We use every excuse to hug
Every mere exciting second
To hold each other in our arms
It makes my heart skip a beat
I hear yours do it too.

I imagine us in another world,
Just a daydream
But I always see us in a green meadow
Smiling because the world is perfect
When we are holding hands by ourselves.

But it seems impossibly far
And the closest we will get is leaning on each other when we are old and sick
But my heart will still leap when we touch
Like the stars are dancing
And we’ll be together.

Forever and ever.
Lovers? We ask,
When tomorrows day breaks.
