NO SIGNAL FOUND [RE-WRITING]

you & me

i miss you
when the moon is nowhere to be found
at night, it's the only thing that
we have in common at the moment;
at least for now i hope.

all i ever allow myself to ask is
"how does the sky look on your side,"
and i pretend you answer
as long as it looks like something
you're alive.

you remind me of cool summer nights
sitting by the lake
just as the solar lights kick in
the gnats nipping at skin
reminding me of vultures picking at bones

a perfect contrast to a full
winters morning, negative colors
not always just black and white;
can't say it will ever
be that simple.

sincerely platonic,
you could call it a one sided love
from afar- long enough
distance and you can't make out
all the details

would you believe me
if i told you that i'm absolutely
in love with you?

and there i said it
maybe not to your face
but to the people who read it
to the person i direct it
in a way you never expected
