stay 6 feet apart
don't touch me
don't touch the same things
don't touch anything
wash your hands
again and again
nothing about love
take care of yourself
stay home
don't want to be the person
who gives it to someone
at a high risk
leaves little space for love
sure technology is great
connects people all over the world
texts to stay in touch
FaceTime when reading is too hard
snapchat for more naughty things
but none of that is real
it is not tangible
there is no sensation that comes from a text
or a phone call or a photo
how can love survive?
in a world with no touch
how can love thrive
in a world that doesn't let you go out
my generation uses their phones to date
but its not real
until you meet in real life
its not real until it leaves the phone
until it is out in the world
i can't help but mourn
all the love that was lost
because of the virus
be it old and weathered
or brand new just days after birth
and it has only just begun
we have not seen the worst of it yet
and i don't know how long
love can survive
i am just so sick of this glass between us
i just want to be with you
touch you with my fingertips
hear your voice with my ears
not through a speaker or headphones
i want you to run your fingers through my hair
or steal the hat off of my head
so you can wear it yourself
i hate the distance between us
this phone is no substitue for you
being here with m
