Darkness

Nothing Can Separate Our Love

I sit in front of the computer.

Fingers ready.

Mind wandering.

I want to write.

But I can't.

I get up from my chair.

My hand reaches for the phone,

But stops outstreched.

I want to call you.

But I can't.

I get my flashdrive.

Plug it in.

I look at all the pictures of us.

I want to embrace you.

But I can't.

Baby, I miss you.

Sometimes love sucks.

I wish we lived closer.

I wish I could move.

But I can't.

So I settle for thoughts instead.

My phone rings.

I answer to your voice, and I smile.

'This is fine', I think.

As long as I have you.

As long as we're together, we'll get through this.

Although our bodies may be separated,

Nothing can separate our love.
