perhaps one day i'll find whatever peace i've been looking for all these years,

maybe my eyes will stop watering every time you're away

but you'll always be the one i want to call when my heart is hurting.


the way your hands feel are ingrained into my skin

for the rest of this lifetime

and maybe every single one after that.


your voice will never cease to echo in my mind.


i will forever curse heaven and earth for its sins

because i know that one day,

i'll dial the phone and it will just ring

and ring

until it doesn't.
