The Space in Between

Thank you
for being
the space in between
the relentless drive for perfection
and my not caring a damn
for being
that pause in between
the deafening din of dreariness
and the sensual allure of flattery
for being
that long deep breath
that inhales you into me
and feel you as I would my second skin
for being
that fine line between
What it means to live
and what it means to be alive
Thank you
for being

I don't mean to trivialise such wonderful verses. But this poem quite almost describes the emotions that envelopes me and my wife when we have to share a plate of char kuay teow at our most favourite stall in Port Klang. The plate of steaming, aromatic kuay teow that is "the space in between" :D
