“I felt”

He said to her

And gave a melancholy sigh,

“That might not mean much to you

But to me it’s something new.”

“There are parts of me

So atrophied

I thought them dead and gone…

Yet there you are…

And here I am…

And between just but a foot wide gap

That could span millions of miles,

Because no matter how much I touch you

I know you will never be mine.

So why am I so happy

To feel so much pain

That I now I wish

I felt nothing once again.”
