Cracking From The Miles Between Us
It's the things I neglect when I'm trying to stay calm:
Friends
Sleep
Picking up phone calls
Nervously eyeing the clock again. I'm running on low it seems.
The sound of your voice, crackling softly over telephone wire, is cracking from the miles between us.
I don't blame you for not picking up.
I don't blame you for not calling back.
I don't blame you for any of it.
It's easy to forget:
Five years seemed to move so quickly.
And those scars, have they faded yet?
Do you know how I hate I remember it?
I'm haunted and losing it.
