He meets her in a place where he doesn’t see her
There are only the words on the screen
as he glares at his monitor waiting for her next line
He wonders what she’s thinking
What she’s wearing
What she looks like
She says hello, sorry to keep you waiting
How have you been?
Almost afraid to answer
He replies, fine now that you’re here
You have become my release
My escape from the pain
The pain of knowing today
But not knowing tomorrow
With you I’m free to think
To feel
To just be
For when we’re apart,
I’m constrained to this place that I’ve been forced to be
I’ve lost the ability
The desire and the will
Except for when I’m here with you
Thank you for being here in my 15” world
