Late Night Calls

I miss our late night calls
We'd just lay there on our phones
Laughing and telling stories
Until we both fall asleep

We haven't been able to have any lately
Because of things I've done
Things I shouldn't have done
Things I could've prevented

I miss our late night calls
We'd talk about anything and everything
Enjoying ourselves into the late hours
Until the call dies

Those nights I went without the nightmares
Without the panic attacks
Without being scared
Because you were with me
Maybe not physically
But I could talk to you
I could hear you
I knew you were there
I knew you would help me battle the demons

But now
Now
I have more panic attacks
More nightmares
The demons are worse
And I can't get your help to control them
I can't get your loving words
Your calming voice
I just have to "deal with it"

I miss our late night calls
Where we'd lie on our phones
Until we fell asleep
And even then
We never hung up

I miss those nights

They'll be here again
I don't know how long away they are
But I know they'll be back
It'll just take time

I miss our late night calls
