You're Here I'm There

The miles of separation.

 

You're Here I'm There

 

You're here

I'm there

~

Chasing shadows

that were left behind

on the walls where we belong

~

Pretending the space next to us is occupied

by a smile that takes up room

in the corners of the universe

~

Kissing the molecules of un-breathed air

in-between the distant lungs

of exhaled wishes

~

Talking inside a conversation

held in imaginary lingo

between two souls

wanting the same gravity

~

Looking over vacant shoulders

to be sure our name wasn't called

by a familiar voice

etched inside like minds

inside tethered thoughts 

~

Wrapped inside invisible arms

familiar with the comfort

of a beating heart

~

Looking at the lights

from a distant horizon

of cities & towns

separating our desired destination

~

Living inside dreams of magic 

made from the moments

left in time

when the future was created

~

For right now

~

You're here

I'm there

But

Somewhere in the future

We are together...

 

Talking about today.

There will be a day in the future, where we are together... Thinking back and we will remember old times and this poem will be one of those. "do you remember when I was away for work in South Tx and you were still in Miss. You wrote a poem about how we would be together one day and think back to that day." Me and you Babe

You're here

Somewhere in the future

Oh. My. Word.

Give me this poem- so I can nail it to my wall and remember the day I read it while also remembering the day I fell in love 😍😭😍 this is brilliantly written and %100 relatable in my life right now- so much so, I could almost cry because it’s bittersweet...

The ONLY criticism I might give you is that the word “inside” is repeated very often, and I didn’t know if that was for rhyming purposes, or lack of other wording. If it’s not on purpose for the poem, I might think of a few synonyms to replace with “inside”.

LOVED. This.

Wow, usually when I am reviewing poems I write a phrase or two I thought were really powerful, but almost every phrase you used gave me chills! Amazing poetry, you truly have a gift!
