Just Us (poem)

I patiently wait
For your name
To flicker on
To brighten my day
To hold me close
And tell me
All that I deny

I look back
On the words we exchanged
My heart beating a little faster
The blood rising to my cheeks
I push back reality

Distance and time
Don't belong
It's just us
Here and now

Just a little bit faster
Just a little bit sweeter
Just a little more

Hand in hand
Knowing the limits
Forever here and now

It's just us
