We Are Fine

//1//

I looked worn out today

With my guards down, as

I was when we first met

The glances through brief were

Warm, the distance between

Us was tantalizingly unsure

You looked at your watch, dreading

The passing time and I thought

That you were in a tearing hurry

We said goodbyes, fleetingly

Mentioning the sweet nothings

While both felt incomplete

You, with time, and I, with love

We'll give ourselves excuses now-

We're fine. //2//

The roads that lead me to you

At times feel longer than usual

And the journey from being 

Separated at the reasons

Seems gloomy and arduous

And I admire the way that you

Handle the very miles that

Lead to my soul into a yet

Manageable frenzy within

Though I wonder how much 

Can an untended and withered

Shrub soak up from a dessert

When the oasis is are far.

We'll tell ourselves now-

We're fine. //3//

If only this distance between 

You and I was a little shorter, if only

The way I felt about being away in

This solitude found your favor

In some effortless way

If only the games that our minds

Played were a tad mundane, if only

My need to reach inside and

Reach the depths of your soul did

Not bear this stamp of impatience

If only what I had for you was

Not this overwhelming, I may just

Have been able to reign in this ache

But I am where I am now, a place

I always wanted to be at;

I am lost, you are lost

We'll believe now-

We're fine.
