when you're away [lame poetry]

godreamor: love and AIM
So you told me your screen name
and I scribbled it casually
so we could talk about that one project --
and I've forgotten what it was
but you're still on my buddy list.
You aren't really one for profiles
but I can't help checking
where you are when you're gone.
Strange how I get that connection
only when you leave the computer
(for sleep
or SATs
or work.)
And I'm not really sure
what it says about me
that I know you best when you're gone
but it seems some aged cliches
have endured the test of time
and that old equation
with love and distance
holds true.
I may re-tackle this idea from a less angsty-lovey-ick perspective later... not so sure it works with the subject matter anyways. But for now, this is all I could come up with. Sorry.
And really, I'm not a stalker. Really. Promise.
And you should consider yourself lucky that you didn't have to read some completely inaccurate physics takeoff like "The bigger the distance between us, the longer it's been since I've seen you, the greater the velocity with which I come running back to you." Whoops, guess you've had to now. Sorry. Um, yeah, I think I'll save this now before I embarrass myself further.
