Minutes between moments
Thoughts of you invade
A peaceful sit in protest
Against monotony of reality

Millimetres the space
Where my heat beats
Radiates like the drum
Out on the street

Metres of pages lining
The walls of my mind
Tapped out tentatively
Over the hours and days

Centimetres safe distance
From fantasy to fiction
Grasping for equality
To love another like me

Number of pages 
In the novella
Of a short sweet
Love story

Years between us
When we find out how
This story ends
Before rewritten again
