life is the space between here and there

Between then and now

Between yes and please

Between the pepper and the sugar

Between the familiar and the not

Between your train stop and mine

Between the spaces of my fingers

Between songs on the radio

and awkward sweaty dances

Between my car and your doorstep

And county and state lines

Between reluctant goodbyes

And excited hellos

Between nights spent alone

And days spent together

Life is there

Between me

And you
