A Thousand Miles

A thousand miles...

A thousand miles is not as far as these few
inches between us, here as we sit in quiet conversation.
Simple friendship is not enough, though it should be,
when I am endlessly fascinated by your unfolding nature.

I cannot but love you, though only friendship is your 
wish and I seek the intimacy you reserve for another.
I miss you and it is the harder for these few inches 
between us, and I am the lover and you the loved.
