You left me all alone with the memories
with my thoughts pulsing in my head
wondering every so often
How are you?
Where are you?
Who are you with?
What are you doing?
I pick up my phone and type
Pressing send hoping you will read
In between the lines
But you didn’t even read the words
All because you couldn’t
The words lost and wasted somewhere
Missing just like your phone.
I phoned you and I heard your voice
Short, simple and direct
I knew who you are
And what to do
But my heart beat loudly once
Then flatlined with the beep on the phone
silencing me before I could leave a message.
I look at your pictures and smile at the videos
A teardrop or two escaping every now and then
I have little conversations with you inside my mind
You answer me like you would if you were here
, our little inside jokes and playful comments
, clearly like you are standing right by me.
Distance has a way of making you realize
True feelings and affection
What do I mean to you?
I’ll see when we meet again
What do you mean to me?
You mean a lot more than you know
Because I missed you like crazy.
It taught me that memories last longer
Than temporary material things
It makes me wonder if you learnt that too
Is the small cellular communication device
Worth more to you than the smiles and laughter
Shared between you and a shy beautiful girl
Who thinks you are so special?
Can she be replaced or if you lose her
Will she always be on your mind?
Distance is more than miles or kilometres
It’s a loss of communication
Between two people.
Whether they are close together
Or worlds apart.
Distance creates pain.
Memories bring back that closeness
Soothing and temporarily erasing the pain
Until you communicate once again.
Maybe when I see you again
The distance will have made us stronger
Make us realise that we need the closeness
I will hold you tight and whisper
“I missed you like crazy”
Wondering if you felt the distance like I did.
Will you hold me and heal all the pain?
What if you don’t?
What if you’ look away and create more
Distance?
