Now there were two of them
Separated between thousands
of read texts and timely
chats touched by sound
but not skin  
Awake in the others sleeping
Sleeping in the others awake  
Restless as they wait
Restless as they wait

I never thought I'd matter
To anyone

Until you
Came along

And changed my perspective
Of the universe

You made me feel
Like I matter

And I'm grateful
For you.

I wonder what it looks like
When I'm staring back at you
Are my eyes as dark as yours
Or my smile as absent
Oh, I wonder
What it is
I am drawn to
When I'm staring back
I can feel my gaze reach a wall
And you decide to look away
I'm in a room of dark
I'm too afraid to walk
Fear of hitting a wall
Staring blankly out
I can see your eyes
But I am too afraid
To look away
And hit another wall

Hey,
How are you doing?
We haven't talked in a while.
Oh, you're alright,
That's great.
I'm fine... thanks for asking
It was nice catching up but...
I have to go.
Sigh
I'm fine.
