you imagine having a casual conversation

maybe he is watching 
some show
you are looking 
at clearance items online

he laughs at jokes
you always manage
to just miss
he quickly glances
at the computer screen
when you point out 
something you like

you imagine a whole conversation
without 
i miss you
i wish you were here
i wish i could touch you
i want you
oh, what i would do to you if you were just here …

and you think 
you will keep this distance
just a bit longer
