Six feet apart with no physical contact, I wish I could at least feel your warmth, have the wind swirl around me and the air feel comfortably hot, just for a moment. The way a warm night tickles your bare skin, the Earth telling you "I love you" over and over again. Let's both imagine it right now, let the heat seep into our skin-- we can feel the same feelings.
I hope you enjoyed this short piece! I cannot believe summer’s coming to an end; although that wasn’t directly addressed in this poem, I feel like it kind of relates. I hope you all had wonderful summers. 🙂 Feel free to leave feedback and writing challenges in the comments. Stay safe and healthy out there. Fall’s around the corner!
