Not the Same

A poem about distance in a relationship

it’s not fair
you’re over there
and i’m over here
and our link
is a phone call
a voice mail
an email
something that isn’t human touch
isn’t warmth
isn’t breath
i can’t stand it
i just want to reach out
and touch your arm
but instead
i reach for a pen and paper
to write
how much i miss you
but it’s just not the same
at all
