For a split second
I realized I wasn’t missing you:
We are so deeply entangled
No amount of distance will ever separate us.
For a split pea soup
I realized how I grew used to you:
I have to learn anew the every day gestures
We usually accomplish together.
For a split hair end,
I realized how much my skin needs you:
It feels unreal and uncomfortable
In the absence of your touch.
For a banana split
I realized I want you back:
I’m afraid to admit how much
I am taking you for granted.
