There is a space
Between me and you
Yet we are told,
If we love we shall be
one
A single whole,
complete
Forgive me, if
I’m not so sure
I want to be a single
whole
I know the norm is,
I should leave and
cleave
I’m sorry.
I can leave but
Cannot cleave.
Perhaps it’s my fault
I like this space
Between me and you
In this space
I know where you start
And where I stop
The boundaries are
clear
But if we’re one?
Enmeshed, entangled
Brittle reflection of
a whole
Reflecting you
You’re my reflection
Reflected back to me
You see, I like the
space
Between you and me
I want to see you and
me
I do not want to be
A reflection of a
mirrored image of me
I like this space
between you and me
For mystery needs some
space
And in this place
I see you
So while you may want
to be
My one, enmeshed and
only one
I’ll keep this space
between us
This space where I can
see
The mystery of you and
me
Wow this is fabulous David. I agree. It is vital to have some breathing space. :-)
