Closer We Get

I wanted to meet you
in your dreams
but I was held here
at my place

I tried to sneak out
at night—
the door was locked

The slightest sound—
a creak on the bed,
a gentle footstep
could awaken
even the still air

Once out—
gliding through
the empty space
would be a breeze

Another challenge
to face at your end

You’re being held
within your castle
where I’m forbidden—
strictly not allowed

An absurd irony—

the closer I get to you,
the stricter the rules get

The more our hearts connect,
the more we strive for our freedom
