I will not hold your hand,
Take it into my own and rub your palm
To know you are there

I will not embrace your body,
Kiss you up and down your stomach
To feel that you are there.

I will not look at you,
See the crystal eyes staring back at me
To see you are there.

I will not love you
Simply because I am aware
That you are not there.

I cannot see you in the dark,
Touch you or kiss you or love you.
You are not there.
​​​​​​​It's too dark to notice.
