Your arm

It came to me unexpected
while out with friends,
the sudden image
of your hand
circling around my waist
under the bedcovers.

It was so real I felt
the sensation of your arm
against my skin
and I was flooded
by the presence of you,
sometimes your existence
overcomes me.

And I was so ready
to touch
that I wanted to reach
within the gaps between us
and somehow bridge
the light-years of seperation.
