Long Lingering

As I sit here waiting to depart
I have the time to think of where you are.
My mind informs me that you wander far;
I know a deeper truth inside my heart.
It tells me that we two will never part
Even when the lands between us bar
A physical connection. None can mar
The tighter bond we share, by force or art,
And we are joined despite the distance felt
Between our bodies. What, to us, is flesh?
It cannot hold us distant where we mesh,
Nor sluice between the part of us that melt.
We are together even now. And yet
I long to feel your body, close and wet.
