Sometimes I still pick up my phone to call you and hit the dial button before I realize I can’t do that anymore. I saved your last voicemail.

The one about coming to see you and you sounded excited and it made me excited.

Then the phone company wouldn’t let me hit save anymore and then I was alone.

The itch is still here though and it feels like you are at the tip of my fingers waiting for me to pull you closer. It’s been a while and I thought it would go away.
