Mind Game

Same planet
Different ground
We still share the same moon
Even though different stars align our skies

Weird dynamic this long distance thing has
The lack of communication brings drowning consequences
If we don't talk for a day
Or if it's just petty talk with no love
It feels really ordinary
And I slowly drift away from it afterward

What is left is a feeling only nurtured by memories
By the day, they turn more and more yellow
The drawer where you reside gets dustier
The voice on the phone gets less familiar

We've been lacking romance
Sometimes it feels like an old friend
That I keep insisting not to forget

I don't want one more friend
I don't want a mild relationship simply to take away my heart

There is no longing for someone just to fulfill that space
Someone to bottle up my sexuality and love
And take no sips out of it

The joy becomes questions
The certainty melts into thousands of little wonders
And I begin to ask myself what am I doing

It's that recurrent thought that keeps coming back when there is no excitement
Why am I holding on to so little?

When this all feels just ordinary
I end up trying to relive the days we shared
To refresh the way I felt with you
I keep trying to remember how you feel against my skin
How you taste
How you smell

I could bear not knowing your smell anymore
Even not being able to draw your face in my eyes
But I can't bear lacking on excitement
I don't want to become oblivious

You become a distant voice through the phone cord
Unrevealed words on my phone screen
An electronic reminiscence of the man I chose to see

What's the point
Better just uncommit
And let it be
