I respect the empty spaces between us,

Boundaries that maintain our sanity and cadence,

Each time you look at me, so deep and true,

It seems you gaze inside, and see me through.

Your icy eyes, they give me fever and chills,

You peer into places no one else ever will,

You melt the walls, the boundaries I’ve made,

I feel exposed, yet drawn, and unafraid.

Your words are like a spell, they make me stop,

The world around us fades, with each and every thought,

People blur, the time, it disappears,

It seems it’s only us, two souls no longer here.

In silence too, you hold me in your gaze,

No need for words, the emptiness has its own ways,

Of blurring lines, and dulling lights, of merging walls,

Of saying all, with just a look, and nothing at all.

And as we walk, our hands don’t need to touch,

The space between us is electric, magnetic, such,

A force that pulls, and holds us tight,

I gravitate towards you, in the darkest of night.

I respect the empty spaces between us, it’s true,

For it’s what keeps me stable, and helps me see it through,

It helps me maintain my boundaries, and find my peace,

In you, my safe haven, where my heart can never cease.
