I’ll check on you 2378 clicks a day I’m not obsessed I really like that glow on your face The glow you get from your screen when you’re talking to me I’m sorry that I cannot teleport to your room each time I think of you I’m sorry that I ask Siri every 2 hours “Does she love me?” Only to hear— “I’m afraid I cannot answer that.” I’ve memorized all our old messages like a script I say I love you you say you love me too I say I love you more you say you love me more than the most We were the lead actors… The stars of an unexplainable love-story Gliding on a red carpet Bright red as the hearts that bubbled above us each time I rested my lips on your lips except it was no act When I’m typing on my phone every thought is about how my fingers used to touch that skin of yours Type type type “I miss you” Don’t send. Type type Delete. I’ve called you about 13 times The ringing in my ears has become my new favorite soundtrack. It’s just a lovely piece it goes from 5 rings to: “please leave a message after the beep” and that’s when I shed a tear I ask why did I meet you at this time when technology is taking over true contact? Where did I go wrong? why us? Will our love ever exist again? Can our ****** technology tell me the future? "I’m sorry but the answer to your question is not available please hang up or try again…. Goodbye." The message has been running for 32 minutes and 54 seconds I’ll hang up I’ll try again Goodbye

A poem I wrote last night. I wasn't really aiming for this genre but I know it can be a relatable subject!
