A few words, just a few words

do you feel any better?

It seems forever ago now

that you were here

turning over to wake up

next to you.

Where else I'd rather be

doesn't matter now

drawn in lines that won't intersect.

I can't force a closeness

knit and weathered tied and

never tethered

I'll watch you float

wander into something foreign on your own.

I won't say I want you back

but I'd stop you if I could.
Watching the waves roll in and then roll out
my heart stretches wider than the screen
feels like it might burst.
I have to see you again.
