sitting here in the quiet
thinking about you,
and what we could be,
in some alternative universe where you care as much as i do.
my phone bleeps and it's your name on the screen,
i get excited and fumble with the passcode.
with hopeful eyes i read your messages but begin to frown.
you've worded every hope and dream in our alternative universe
the only difference is it's a reality for you and him.
i smile through the sting of my tears,
i trick myself every time
into thinking some day you'll talk about me like that.
