Yearning for closeness from "summary" of The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan
I ache for the feeling of skin against skin. To be so close that there is no distinction between your body and mine. To breathe in sync, hearts beating as one. It's a primal need, a desire that consumes me. I yearn for that connection, that intimacy that transcends words.
In the quiet moments before sleep, I can almost feel your presence beside me. Your warmth enveloping me, your scent lingering in the air. I reach out, but you're not there. The empty space next to me aches with longing. I crave the closeness we once shared, the easy familiarity of being in each other's arms.
But distance has crept in, a silent intruder that has wedged itself between us. Our conversations have become stilted, our touches fleeting. I miss the days when we were inseparable, when every moment apart felt like an eternity. Now, I find myself yearning for closeness that seems out of reach.
I long to bridge the gap that has formed between us, to erase the distance that keeps us apart. I want to feel your heartbeat against mine, to lose myself in the depths of your eyes. But I fear that we may be too far gone, that the chasm between us is too wide to cross.
Yet still, I hold onto hope. Hope that one day, we will find our way back to each other. That we will rediscover the closeness that once defined us. Until then, I will continue to yearn for that connection, that bond that I know is still there, buried beneath the surface, waiting to be reignited.
