It's not the same.
It's not the same,
No matter what you say.
You're in my front room,
1200 miles away.
'No one's far away anymore'
My iPad tells me,
With your voice,
Looking like you.
My phone plays the video message,
Pretending to be you.
But it's not you.
Not really.
Bridging a gap, with video calls.
But I can't touch you,
Can't fall asleep next to you.
Can't kiss you when you say the words.
Because at the moment,
You're just an image on an iPad.
1200 miles. In the same room.
May as well be on another planet.
I miss you.

Very appropriate poem for the times we live in. As with most things our interconnectivity nowadays has good sides and not so good sides..... It is always tough when you are deeply in love with someone who lives far away when you want nothing more than to be next to them..... although I also tend to believe that a strong love can overcome almost anything..... Great poem....♡♡♡ :)

Thanks :) me and my other half have been together (on and off) for 4 and a half years. Moved away for a year and I'm really struggling with not being able to call everyday like I used to and not having our date nights. I'll cope. It's only a year. :) thanks for the read.
