We are 138, static in the city
air,
A secret code for a true love, rare and bare.
I’m the alien waiting on your signal, on your text,
Terrified of what I feel, wondering what comes next.
I watch the phone, the black glass, the empty
space,
Just starving for a pixel that resembles your face.
It’s a fever, this craving, it lives under my skin,
A
wet heat, a sickness, where the fantasies begin.
I
cream at the thought of you, a dangerous tide,
My body betrays the secrets that I try to hide.
But when the
heat breaks, the silence returns,
And the lust turns to care as the candle burns.
I fold my hands in the dark and I send it above,
A plea for your health, enveloped in love.
I pray for your heart, for your breath,
I pray for your
joy, even while we’re apart.
I pray for the "us" that I know we can be,
A future where you are standing with me...my love.
