Close Enough

He says my words
Draw him to intimacy
In a way he doesn't understand
I listen as
He tries to express
Outwardly
What he cannot organize
Inwardly
I seem to be a whirlwind
Sucking people in
Scattering things here and there
Never knowing where
They might land
But hoping all the while
That one of them
Might not be moved
And now it is
That I know what it means
To never be
Close enough
