A million text notifications
The video of your baby eating sweet potatoes
The flowers you sent when my grandfather died
Airbnb wishlists
Saving up sky miles
FaceTime calls
Postcards
“I need an update!”
Long rambling voicemails
“I think you would like this song”
Photos shared on birthdays
Clothes shared when we’re in town
FaceTiming while multitasking
Kitchen dance parties
“How’s your brother?”
“Don’t forget to pack toothpaste.”
“Can I borrow your hair clip?”
Zoom baby showers
Zoom wedding showers
Singing in the car
“Remember when?”
I wish we lived closer.
I wish we lived closer.
It hurts how much
I wish we lived closer.
And all the same
and all the time,
oh isn’t it worth it.
