Elizabeth voice:
I think because weren’t able to see each other for three weeks or something, but were really starting to feel very strongly about each other and talking everyday
emailing and sending each other music like no one wanted to end the video call
Because we just imagined what it would be like to be like together to be in the same space
Where we could finally touch

Jumble
me up and kiss me
meet me arms outstretched
a full feeling coming from the words
circling and not afraid to tangle
something hums in the back of the throat
to say what we know
our hands run across our wants
one hand in place of another
drifts the plane of your chest
one hand in place of the other
valleys down my collarbone
one twists & stretches possibility
one sinks in coils of desire
one shields the eyes
one unbuttons
one outlines the lower lip
one bites to reign it in
one grazes the sides of your jaw
reuniting the fingers and thumb
once estranged and all the same
we are mislimbed and missing each other
and careful with our reaching

somewhere different
but exactly the same
vines climb a new home
and both admit they want
to be made around each other

Elizabeth voice:
● I care about you deeply
● I’m here for you
● I want to have hard conversations
● I want to see
● I want to tend to wounds
● I want to work towards feeling safe with you
● I think this is something special and rare

Mel voice:
vocalize that
clearly there’s this tension
You’re both like: Oh God,
oh it could be that

if it’s in your spirit and your heart, you know, the word
say,
you know, when we spend time together
I have the urge to tell you that I love you
I don’t know just a thought

oh it could be that
now you’re putting energy into not saying it
take a deep breath
if it’s in your heart,
It’s important to let people know that you love them
