Space Between Us

The space between us
feels bigger than it’s ever been.
We stay in our bubbles
and pray they’ll soon burst.
For each day we imagine
the moment when 
without hesitation,
we’ll wrap our arms around each other 
and cry for all the hugs we missed 
in these months.
The seconds pass easily 
in a long-awaited embrace
One…two…three…four…five…
no urgency to let go.
and we’ll smile because the best
gift has become a hug.
And the clarity of love
no matter the space between us.
