The Gap Between

between
the sheets
opening my eyes
to thoughts
of you
between then
and now
I think of us
all the possibilities
and of
all the space
between our fingers
with every touch
or the space
between our
noses, cheeks,
and lips
yesterday
I hope
for tomorrow
when the space
between us
and the carpet
comes down to
our heart beats
and embrace
in the space between
this second
and the next
I close my eyes
to thoughts of you
or us
and dream
of football
and beaches
and dances
and soon awake
daybreak
to feel
the gap between
your home
and mine
and the next
telephone call
