This Is Us

You’re something I can’t comprehend but feel

Always in denial.

We both know I’m not available

We could try, but not in this timeline

 

Unexpected turns,

Unexpected mourns

 

This is us.

The undebatable truth.

 

Beneath your touch,

I crawl back again

Pull away.

Still gripping what should never have been

 

Heavy breathing behind our ears

Too loud for something that’s too gentle

Friction in motion.

How I wish it were only us

 

Reflexes on skin

I don’t want to miss what I’ve already missed

Restraint in my blood

You’re too good to be despised

And it’s killing me

 

This is us.

The unattainable long-lasting touch.
