‘’i’m lying on my bed
with my phone settled
next to me; halfway
covered by my blanket
i hear the ping that just won’t stop
i see the messages full of excitement
but i can’t bring myself to
feel what you feel
to be as excited as you are
to be alike
‘’what r u up to 2day??’’
‘’wanna hangout??’’
‘’we should get froyo :)’’
‘’i miss u!!!!’’
i sigh
i pause
i shut my eyes
and i turn away
because we are not longer akin
no longer bonded
no longer similar
no longer same.’’
