The Nearness of You

I try not to think of you

Try not to write to you

Try not to feel the urges crawling under my skin

 

It’s constantly there

I can’t turn it off

Obsessions only get masked by creating another

Yet distractions only last so long

 

My thoughts return to you 

Your hands and body close to mine 

You’ve never left me

Yet I feel you closer than ever before
