Away, is always further than being

near.  Being near means I get to

hold you close enough to hear your

heart beatin, the breath you’re

breathin in and out, the sighs and 

moans of a morning’s passionate

moment; the quietness of the house

as time passes by, while we’re still

snugly wrapped in blankets like a

butterfly in chrysalis phase. If 

you only knew how much I hate

walkin away from you so early in

the morning, just to go to work, I 

would gladly work the night shift, in order

to hold you just a little longer.

 

Away, is always further than being near.

Being near means I get to hold you close

enough to hear our heart beatin, the 

breaths you’re breathin, and the faint

whisper of “I love you”, lingering

on the morning air.
