A Hairsbreadth Away

We're standing arm to arm

Not touching

And you're

A hairsbreadth away

Always

We're close enough for me

To predict every word that's

About to come out of your mouth

Still you're

A world away

Orbiting and never

Colliding

If you're

A hairsbreadth away

Then why is all I see

Empty space

Endless stars

Vacuum

Black hole

Yet

The flick of your eyes

Towards mine

Is enough for me

We have something

And that's more than anything

Even when we're weightless

And even though

I can't breath

I want you here

A hairsbreadth away

Cause I know you can't come any closer

But I still smile

And watch the stars glow
