She lays there under her blankets...
and tries so hard to sleep.
But each time her phone lights up the room,
she feels how her heart leaps.

It yearns for him; his presence,
just a glimpse of his hand holding hers.
She just wants to hear his laugh again
and feel every word.
I miss you.

Though I know I shouldn't,
it's as if I'm floating in brine.
You know I'm feeling something,
when I come here and think up rhymes
just to try and express what's usually
kept bottled up inside.
Right now, I just want to hide.

Little orange octopus
that's staring at me,
your fluffiness looks comforting
but I wish you'd tell me what you see.

I smile over the thought
of just doing your laundry.
I miss you.

Up until my eyes are bloodshot.
I think about my life until my stomach is in knots,
I feel sad, happy, mad, sometimes it gets confusing.
In the end I do fall asleep but tomorrow I know what's awaiting me.

I want to kiss you
at the end of each night
and the beginning of every day,
I wanna be there so you can see
me smiling at the things you say.
I want to be there, acting ridiculous.
Awkwardly laughing as I realize I'm being recorded. I want to be there again, waking you up to be embarrassed with that terrible video... I want to be there... next to you.

You always get me to smile
even when my mind is acting hostile.

Many nights ago,
you sang a love song to me.
I remember you singing often. Your voice is beautiful and could never be described as rotten. When will we sing together again? I remember how my heart fluttered the last time we did.

It's hard for me to speak,
my heart is racing
and my stomach has
decided to disagree with me.
Then the tears fall endlessly.
I don't want to do anything.

I want to make the distance disappear.
and be beside you again.
