the bus bumps against my head
the music blasts in my ear

the tunes im obsessed with
they calm me

i hold that book to my chest,
your name written in the palm of my hand-

i smile,
wondering what you would do if you were
next to me
that very instant.

even though we're thousands of miles away
distance isn't supposed to keep us apart.

or so they say.

distance doesn't bother me, as it does for others
i keep smiling about you

thinking about you

living with you in my heart

i wait for the day i go back and visit,
we can finally see each other

i imagine,
me, glomping you in a hug
a smile on our faces
you, cracking jokes at my shoes and my
new knicknacks

i smile
☺︎

maybe we could hold hands
talk about everything
enjoy the peace
where time and distance arent chasing us

my daydreams take me to that memory

it was your birthday,
you're wearing your pink, collared shirt

i remember the softness of that first hug
when i felt heaven collide with the beings on earth

the blue lockers smiled down at me

the world didnt seem like such a bad place anymore

if only you were there with me
