I'll never
stop
finding reasons to message you
     however frivolous
     I'll keep inventing them
it's like a disease really
a chronic illness

'I have a condition'
     'what is it?' you ask
I can't
stop
craving your reply
     however trivial
     I need to know
you're on the other end of the line
the other end of the conversation

'diagnose me'
     but all you find is
unstoppable
unhaltable
love

.

.

well,
love and a whole lot of lonely
