why is it
that when lovers are separated across countries or states,
their world is lonely?
we've had weekends apart,
many times.
so why is it that
Just because you're going to a different state,
i feel lonely
and miss you?
what is is about those extra miles
That make us hurt?
what sense does it make?
what's the difference between
Three days apart
and
three days apart
and someplace else?
why do those ****** extra miles
leave a tugging in my chest?
Maybe
this tugging
is my heart
trying to reach yours
because they've never felt this distance.
our heartstrings are intertwined
and being pulled by
those ****** extra miles.
To Joseph.
