I spoke into the phone
Convincing him he'll last
And trying not to sound so alone
Silly how a distance
Can cause mental strain
Such human things
Surviving in pain
Funny how a feeling
Might drive you to become insane
Attract you to a human
Trying to master that same game
I knew meeting you would whirl me
Into an amusement park of emotion
Loving you
Is like
Riding the tallest wave
In the ocean
Endlessly drawn back to you
You must get it too
I can sense it in the way
You choose
Words and actions
Always wanting to show you care
Catching me off guard
Like when you toss a ball
And the other person is stuck in awe
I watch it drift towards me and fall
You could be in Rome
For all I know
I selfishly want you back
Without my best friend
I feel in lack
I don't have an extra hand
To wipe my newfound river
Of tears
You've unblocked the dam
Holding back my fears
I can't figure out
How to put them back
I don't have your arm
To sling around my shoulder
Reminding me your here
Reminding me when you're away
Currently unavailable
To conveniently grab when I lay
I am missing the match
Even the small spark you bring
To my kindle
Igniting my soul again
No longer can I pretend
There's no meaning for the word
Best friend
Soul mates
Lovers
Partner
Best friends
Whatever we feel like calling it
Is just a label for the perfection
In each of those moments
I wish I could deny
That your not here
By my side
It feels like you've disappeared
But you're only Michigan
I'm only here
I treasure the moments
Every single one
When you're near
