Phantom Touch

The longing to touch someone so far away, taking an embodiment.

Do you feel that?

Can you feel my touch?

We're a million miles away.

Yet, I get this rush,

when I think of you.

I imagine holding you.

I can feel my hands

grasp your back.

Can feel your heat

even though you're

not here.

Do you feel it, too?

Do you feel my

phantom touch?

Or like me,

is the thought of

never feeling it, too much?
