Hey man let's take a week off

Yes, a week off
from the hurt and the doubts
and the weight of conversations,
a week off, yes, yes.

A week away
from the warmth of your body
pressed against mine.
So as to get perspective.
A week away, yes, good.

A week to be deprived
of the warmth in your smile
in your laugh
in your words
in your touch
in your smell
Your actions.
Distance is good, yes, yes.

A dry week
used to measure
the void you leave behind.
A week, yes, that lasts
the length of a winter.
