The Shortest Distance Between Two Points Is Through a Computer Screen

I miss your face, your voice
the way you look at me
eyes full of compassion
and something that I can't quite identify-
something that could one day become love
and you're miles away
sleeping alone, while i'm wide awake
far across the ocean
wondering, worrying, hoping you're okay
dreaming of long conversations
wishing you were here
just sitting right beside me
not talking.
Just taking comfort in each other
drawing strength, feeling safe and warm
and completely content.
