Phone Hugs

Babe I know things are tough

I know what it's like to want to turn yourself inside out

to feel like someone ripped out your heart and ate it.
I know.
But do you know what it feels like to sit here

watching you fall?
Watching you fall, again and again and again and again...
Dear, it's hard.
It's hard for me knowing this is hard for you.
It's hard seeing you drag yourself through each day.
I know it hurts.

I also know, you're only human.
To hurt is to be human.
To love is too.
And a broken heart ain't so romantic after all,

you and I both know.

And I know we don't see eachother nearly enough anymore.
I know it sucks being able to only say
"phone hug"
And not be held, or hold someone close, because at times,

they're all the matter.

they're all that's keeping us upright

I guess what I'ma sayin' is...

I love you, in whatever twisted way.
Brother, friend, almost best friend.
Don't you dare take yourself away from me.
