18 July

can we walk faster
yes,
you can
can we sit in the shade
yes,
you can
but I cannot sit next to you
can I touch you,
no

why? why?
because all this time
the only time when i've been able to speak to you
is without my words
to reassure you that the hand resting on your arm means
i want things to be good
and this is the best i can do
and when we are speaking with our mouths
but not with words
