How much longer can I carry this unspent love?

There is an affinity I keep hidden in the deepest depths of my heart.

When I feel brave I empty that pocket

And let myself feel, let this love free

So that all the particles and the invisible forces

That you have illuminated in me

Make their way across the great divide

And find a way to you.

Until there is no space left

Skin to skin, heart to heart

I am there, once again right beside you

And this time around, I don’t hold anything back

It’s as simple as this.

I reach out to hold your hand

And whisper words that require no reply.
