Only Air Between Us

There's only air between us

waiting for us to fill the silence

up with words.

To cut through it, daring us to

break the space,

that lies between.

To explore eachothers canvases.

There's only air between us,

and only your gaze breaks the barrier

between you and me.

You can see everything in my eyes,

I want everything you want.

As your hand reaches out

to lightly graze my cheek,

to brush my hair from my face.

Your eyes tell me that you

won't hurt me.

And when you kiss me,

your lips against mine

for the first time

I feel all of what you feel.

Your hands on my face,

and mine at your waist.

You pull back,

only air between us.

Look at me,

those beautiful eyes,

And then you bury your head in the

crook of my neck.

Your hands gently playing with my hair.

I smile, letting out a breathless laugh.

I feel you grin and you place

a soft kiss to my throat.

There's only air between us.
