you’re all the way over there.
i’m all the way over here.
we’re “together” but we’re not.
i need you closer! this isn’t fair.
when we talk and laugh, i feel you.
but after we talk and laugh, i wanna feel you.
you tell me to come thru and chill.
and i tell you that “i will.
but you say it like i’m next door.
and you pout like i’m not real.”
you: “but you said ain’t no mountain high. ain’t no valley low!!”
me: “chill. you know i’ll come get you. rain or snow.”
you: “you said ain’t no river wide enough.”
me: “i know what i said. don’t try to call me out. you think ima bluff? you think i’m not crushed? you know i rock with you. it’s equally as tough.”
this will work, only if we want it to.
you can say you don’t see this working but you gotta skewed view.
i understand you think couples need the physical touch…
but two people need the commitment to do what it takes to work. if we want it, we’ll get it. THAT’S what lovers do.
i’ll fly you out, i’ll drive to you.
you’ll pull up on your random off days, that’s cool?
i’ll schedule my trips around those Monday off holidays.
i’ll be with you, getting laid and still getting paid.
but if we’re doing this, we’re doing this.
i need to know.
cus if you think it’s too much of a risk,
and you can’t be there emotionally but feel iso.
well. pray on it. meditate. sleep. talk to your brothers and nem.
but ultimately you must make the decision if you think us working out is thick or slim.
i’ll call you tonight. on duo or something.
we go to sleep warm, looking at each other.
but that’s through our phones; we’re distant, lover.
