The Unsaid Words Inside My Head

Five Feet Apart Poem

His POV

All my life Ive been locked up in this four white room
Cause I was born weak, I was born to die
I didn't have the chance to explore the world
I didnt got the chance to see the beauty in it
I cant see any hope
I wanna give up, Im hopeless
Until I met you
Until you showed up
You gave me hope
You gave me reasons to go on

We have the same fate
We have the same destiny
But unlike me, your strong
And hopeful
You shared the little light you have to lighten my dark world
Your laughter made me smile
Your love made me feel alive
So once in my life, I hoped
I hoped to lived, for you, to be with you

I wanna touch you
I wanna embrace you
I wanna kiss you
But I cant
And I wont
Cause its dangerous
Doing so means you drifting away from me
We may be close
But not enough to touch you
Cause six feet apart, thats the closest distance we can only have
Thats the closest I can have to be with you
Its hard
But its okay
As long as I can see you
As long as I witness your laughter and smile

But as the time is ticking
Our life is shortening
We know that we only have a little time together
I wanna spend with you my remaining time
I wanna be with you
But Im afraid to cross the distance between us
I dont want to take the risk
Cause doing so means taking your breath away

But knowing its you
Your not afraid of anything
So you took the risk
You stole one foot to be with me
You took the risk of holding my hands
You took the risk just to be with me
And I was happy
I felt alive
And Ill take this memories with me
Memories of you, five feet apart, from me

Her POV

Im not strong like you thought
Im just hopeful
Hoping to survive in this dark world
Hoping to see light in it, explore it and see the beauty in it
The smile that they can see in my lips
Is just a mask to hide my true feelings
To hide the fear within me
Its you who gave light to me
Its not me
You gave me reason to go on
You gave me reason to hope more
But we were dying
So I took the risk for your
I took one step to be with you
And I was happy
To be five feet apart from you
