Forbidden

Only inches

separate you and I.

Keeping my heavy heart-beats silent

and my breaths calm.

Only centimeters

separate our hands.

Only seconds pass

but I already feel the burn of my cheeks

and the curve of my smile.

Only minutes left

until you depart into the shattered halls.

Will you think of me until tomorrow ?

Only fear

keeps a distance between us

when only inches separate

you and I

If only “onlys” would

disappear.
