I wish I could take away this distance between us,
Always typing in these screens.
I wish I could reach for you,
And give you what your heart deserves and is bereft of.
I wish I could take this screen away,
I wish I could see you, know you, hug you.
I wish I could tell you all the kind things,
With my own voice reaching your own ears.
I wish I could give you the friendly love,
Instead of sending the virtual friendly love.
I wish I could tell you about this life,
Spill the words out in the open for you.
I wish I could hear your story,
And I wish I could tell you "it's okay I'm here".
I wish you could hear my story,
And I wish I could hear words of comfort in this reality.
I wish I could be that friend,
Always by your side and never letting go.
I wish I could hug you,
And then thank you.
Again, and again,
Again, and again.
