Is this what unrequited love feels like?
Is it hearing your voice but not seeing your body?
Longing for your presence knowing it may be cold?
Is it sitting close enough to hear you
But far enough to miss you?
Come closer
Please come closer
This type of longing does nothing but weigh down the weary heart
Come closer
Please come closer
You sound happy
Is that why you’re keeping your distance? Do I take your joy away?
Come closer
Please come closer
I’m pleading with a pencil and paper and you can’t hear my heavy words falling onto this page
I’m begging you with all the will that I have and yet…
Yet….
You can’t
You won’t
You haven’t
Come closer
