i remember when you had to leave to go on a business trip for a few days. you stayed at a hotel and we slept on video call. i'm not exactly sure what happened but sometime around three in the morning, the call ended and it woke me up. i texted you telling you to call me back when you wake up. you called me again around five and i picked up the phone rubbing my eyes and yawning like i had just woken up again. the truth is, i never fell back asleep. i just laid there. staring at my black phone screen, waiting for you to call me back. existing has been so scary without you. it's hard to find any type of purpose now, because my purpose was you. waking up, falling asleep. eating, showering. everything feels dull and meaningless. i just want us to be together again. i don't want to be alone anymore. i promise i will do whatever it takes to find you.
