We two are such strange creatures
We carry the distance between us
Like our first-born child
Like our eldest son
With our frustratingly
overreaching resolve
We overpower
The overpowering corners of seductive
moments
And let the distance grow with all
good manners
Moments of hot and cold coffee
sips
Moments of enticing dinner bites
Moments of secluded elevator rides
Moments of no-one-is-seeing-us-right-now
All such alluring moments pass uncorrupted
When we reach our respective homes
You stand in front of the mirror
Taking your make-up off
I stand in front of the wardrobe
Sorting my night clothes
We mysteriously break into a smile
Together at the same time
Like two synchronized atomic clocks
That’s when distance goes to sleep
That’s when we kiss each other
That’s when we love each other
sleeplessly
Throughout the whole night
:)
