Listen, we need to talk.

I care and I adore you, remember this.

Yet I feel like I am on the other side of a wall,

You’re on one side and I, the other,

I wish I knew how to bridge the gap,

Tell me what I can do for you,

But only you can find the words.

Tell me where the boundary lies,

How to stop my mind from racing, my voice from breaking?

I know what you would say to me,

If you were beside me but-

I feel very exposed and vulnerable.

Scared of how I feel upon this ledge,

Never sure, I don’t know where to stand.

Always checking that I am stuck in a dream,

As I’m afraid, hun, I’ll wake up and find my bed empty.
