When you do not hear from me
I'm wondering why
you appear and disappear
like some genie
only you can't grant my wishes.

When you do not hear from me
I'm probably scrolling
through instagram
drowning in the feeds
looking for a distraction
something to soothe me.

When you do not hear from me
Maybe I'm picking up
the pieces of my heart
as they fall one by one
wishing it'll stop hurting.

When you do not hear from me
I'm trying to imagine
life without you in it
thinking of the possibility
that you are over me.

When you do hear from me
with all the strength within
I give you that smile
yes the wide one
the one you love to see.
