Are you there,
Wishing, hoping, wanting?

Are you eaten up alive
Consumed by me
As I am you?

Are you dreaming
With your eyes open?

Always only half present...
Always exhausted,
Unable to escape to sleep
Starting awake, at 3am
Then locked to thoughts of me
Until the alarms' call?

Are you there?
I am here,
Wishing, hoping, wanting.

Are you there?
So am I.
I am there.
I am there, too.
