Spaces in Between

And in the spaces in between
we find the things unsaid:
The I love you.
The I miss you.

For in the spaces in between
we fear to lose ourselves,
our self,
in the surrender of who we are,
when we give our self to another.

And in the spaces in between,
we find the things unsaid:
The I want you.
The I forgive you.

It’s in the spaces in between,
in those moments in between
the last kiss and the last goodbye,
that we will find
the I lost you.
