Out of reach

You sit there, mere inches away from me but you feel nothing.1

While I am gazing at you, my eyes etching every part of your body into an everlasting memory. You could never realise how hard it is to stop myself from reaching out to you and letting my fingers run themselves through your beautiful tresses, how I long to close my arms around your waist and stare into your mysterious eyes. The pale blue draws me in, closer, until I am almost on top of you. I back away hurriedly for fear of suffocating you.2

I continue to watch from a distance though my hands long to caress your face, to explore your figure and lure you into my embrace. 3

I want to hold you in my arms with promises of love and comfort, to softly kiss your hair and watch you smile at me.4

I want to feel your lips brush against mine as I drown in our perfect moment. The two of us, alone together, swearing allegiance to each other in whispered dreams as our bodies entwine beneath the stars and our minds do likewise. 5

Fall asleep holding me near you and awake next dawn to find me there still. Both of us in my little mountain home.6

Yet we know that place only exists in my mind.7

I come back to reality and you are none the wiser. Still mere inches away from me, yet so out of reach.8

Author notes

Yet another biology lesson! I should really pay more attention in lessons. Rather than letting my mind wonder and create things like this. Unproductive some would say.

    Wow! I have no words to describe this except I love the first sentence
    "You sit there, mere inches away from me but you feel nothing." It just grabs me in and holds me till I can't breathe.

    How beautiful, to have one desire you in the way you desire this person. Very descriptive, very romantic. Very well written.

    The mind is a wonderful place to be. Be Well ansd Be Blessed.

    Excellent.

    This was really beautifully written, and something that most of us could empathise with.
    Oh that I were the object of your desire - whoever he is, he's a lucky man (or perhaps not, unless you open up to him!)
    Well done, and keep writing.
    Luv,
    Robin.

    I'd say you've definitely produced Very well written. I love the flow, and the wistful, lonely feeling of this. Wonderful piece.
