Dec 2017
Pulled off a speeding train
Singing without vocal cords
Coloring outside the lines
A back flip with no practice
A book with no words
Walking without legs
A joke that's not funny
Tinsel without sparkle
A broken arm with no cast
...
All these words describe
You
Me
And the distance between us
...
An "I miss you" doesn't cover it
The deep hole in my chest
The heavy pit in my stomach
The sad streams down my face
Can show you how it feels
But again...
Impossible to explain
...
I love you
I need you
But until I come home
Let's both stay strong
