My spirit stays asleep between my sheets,
you've tucked my smile in your pocket.
I am alone in a dancing room.

I finally am with you
when  I stow away behind the bathroom door.
3 minutes and 12 seconds
You gift me my smile through the phone
a quick conversation-
I reinvent new ways to miss you
you create a new way to love me.

Please, do not hang up.
You have woken up my spirit,
it is dancing in the kitchen
surrounded by bottles and boxed wine
while I, hide in the bathroom
just to talk
to you.
