My Love

My Love

I hear the sound of the ding

My anxious hands pick up my phone

Quick but delicate, not to lose the message that awaits me

The light, the brightness of the screen pierces my eyes like that of the Sun

I mute the light for the sake of my eyes

But with every message she sends the light brightens and brightens

Soon it is not the light burning

But the words that scorch my soul

Miles away and yet just inches apart

Love to love
