happy anniversary

happy anniversary

but no words are spoken
we are too far away to even yell 

some moments are worse than the rest

i wait 
for your reply 
and curse the person 
who invented irc

conversations between lovers
should be speckled with kisses 
not messages and ping replies 

when did we decide that we could do this?
only a little while 

separation

will you join me when i call it
desolation? 

its our anniversary, love 
lets have dinner
drink some wine
dance til we're giddy
make love
fall asleep in each others arms.. 

what? oh yes
i remember now 

you can't eat through a monitor 
and wine is best drunk with company 
you couldn't see me dancing even if i was
and i don't even want to think about 
making love, or lack thereof 

and tonight i will fall asleep 
with nothing but a stuffed cat in my arms 

your breath won't warm the back of my neck 

happy anniversary, my love 
yes, some moments are worse than the rest..
