No idea why

I chose to write this

to you, my friend,

long gone, far away

up this coast

across the shore

I wish we could be

together, like how

we wish over text

how we joke over Skype

how we roleplay situations

with the characters that represent

that "us" we wish to be

that "us" that could have been

that time, that tension

I feel-- you feel it, too

we should fix that, that day

we meet each other, I'll suffocate you

in hugs and kisses, I wanna give

I wish I could,

and so do you.
