Fences Between Us

There’s a fence between us and I want to knock it down,

I miss you.

I can see you between the spaces, but I can’t touch you,

I long to hold you.

You can see me, but you can’t hear me, the weather is cloudy and dark,

I want to talk to you.

Our whole marriage has felt like a waiting game, these fences keep coming between something…a new place to live, a new home, a new job, our future,

I want to smell the cologne on your neck.

Another fence sits before me now and I want to knock it down.

I love you.
