Shown By Our Love

What else can we do, my love?
Close though we are
Too far apart
Like minds
Caressed by each others pain
Late night cuddles
In all but fact
Alas I know I need more than that
It's cruel to stop now
We've come so far, from afar
It would be crueller to continue
Hearts on sleeves
Minds in motion
Always that sexual notion
We bring joy, lust & confusion
To our impossible union
We both need to be held
For real
Not in this cyber realm
We need physical companionship
Yet, it is what we can't have
I know this will hurt
You'll hear it in my voice
When I call
Please know
I don't do this to spite you
Nor to be cruel
But because last night
I knew this was not final
We'll still be friends
Still understand
Importantly
Know what we need
Knowing that we cannot
Have it from the other
But have been shown it
By our love
