lame

why do you do this? 
go ahead, accuse me
but i'm not guilty of anything except loving you 

how can we fight like this?
over the computer
words on a screen 
when we both know there's no point 
the things we hate will 
fade away forever
in just one week 

distance is not killing us
go ahead, disagree 
but i'm just trying to tell you 
that one week 
as long as it seems 
is only a fraction of how long
i'd wait for you 

we argue and hurt each other
and then kiss and make up 
oops, did i say kiss? 
where are your lips when i need them most?

we finally come to an agreement 
computers are "lame" 
and what we have is strong enough
to make it through these last few days

and then we say goodnight 
once again, words on a screen
and i'm crying so hard and 
explaining to you
how much it hurts to feel 
your phantom arms around me

i ask you if you feel my arms
sometimes, when we're apart
and you say you feel them all the time
but right now you're only sad 

we say goodnight and we say
our i love you's 
and my heart almost smiles
until it breaks
at the message that you left
when you closed IRC 

*** c (bleh@van-52-1042.direct.ca) Quit (LAME)

you leave me blinking and 
wondering what you mean 
is distance lame? i agree
is fighting lame? i agree
but could you mean
no you couldn't mean 
could you be talking about me ?
