darling
hearing you laugh
at my mindlessness
makes my lips curl
the day you messaged me
changed everything
you fill the lonely void
even if just comfortable silence
as i chatter on into the night
you laugh with your sister
as i practice japanese
i can almost hear the joy in your voice
your heart is healing itself
one bit at a time
i just know it
you may feel small
you may fear the day i step away
but i'll always be steady by your side
as i guess the songs playing softly in the background of your call
i drift off to sleep peacefully
how could i ever lose
this special thing we have
