The distance between us
I stood there
wanting to find a way to reconnect
to reach inside and say the words
to touch her soul
and make her mine
She glanced my way
and looked right through me
as if I wasn’t there
when ever so casually she
tossed her sunbleached hair
off her rounded shoulders
And it was then
I wondered if she had ever cared
