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.
