nuances

before i knew it you were there right in front of me. and the small talk was over. because there are certain things, certain meanings that words cannot sufficiently convey. i thought you looked somewhat devoid of emotion, stoic. or perhaps this was you being resolute. we both needed to be strong. you took upon yourself my part of the being strong.

and then you slowly brought your hand to my face. it was a touch so light i could barely feel it, but for your thumb grazing my lashes.

and so it is, we go on keeping this safe distance.
