I wanted to see you

so I broke out of my shell

No longer breathing

conditioned air

Free to walk

with no end

I wanted to hear your voice

so I thought of things

you might say

You argue with me

even in my head

I think you may be right

I wanted to feel you beside me

so I sat on the edge of the couch

watching a show that only you

could possibly like

I wanted to forget you

so I tried with all my might

Yet here I am thinking of you

in the deep dark night
