I'm Apart

I'm measuring the water that has washed me since you watched me.
I'm measuring the hands I've held since you taught them.
I'm measuring the rush in my ears since you began speaking.
I'm measuring the temperature of ashes since you burned in me.
I'm measuring the air I'm trying to breathe between you and me.
I'm measuring the heart I'm trying to leave between you and me.
I'm measuring the smell that leaks between you and me.
I'm measuring the distance between here and the floor.
