Inches

An inch or two, and it might be again
What it has been before; it will not be.
You will not slide yourself in next to me,
And I cannot move closer, even when
The looks that we exchange would say amen
And bless the motion that made unity
Out of our separation. I can see
A little of my thought in you; but then
I always could, and never knew if I
Imagined it. A little test would show,
But I lack courage, and we both lack will
To make the effort. So I turn and go
And looking back, I'll always wonder why
We both looked at that moment and stood still.
