In between
When my world shrank
So did my wants
And all the things I’d hoped we’d do
Got crumpled up
And put to one side
Until later
Or never
Who knows
And what was left was smaller
All the little things in between
Glances
Touches
Ways of saying things
The type of stuff
You can’t book online
Now I just want to pop round
Push the door
Shout hello
Step inside
Hear your voice brighten
See your face light up
Lock eyes as you get up from your chair
“Cup of tea?” you’ll say
Straight away
“Ooh yeah, but I’ll do it, you sit down”
I’ll see the crinkles in your face
Smile and rub your hand
Always soft
Always cold
Just like mine
Then we’ll just sit
And be for a while
Nothing to say or do
Enjoy the same air
On the same bit of earth
Everything better
Because we’re both there
