Diagnosis: Loneliness

Our love is different
At least that's what we told ourselves
When one heart traveled 500 miles from the other
And we decided to stay together
Chose to remedy loneliness with late night Oovoo calls
Supplemented being together with texts throughout the day
Prescribed seeing each others face with love letters disguised as good morning messages
And when those treatments couldn't cure our longing for one another
We sat wishing that we weren't alone
Even when we were surrounded by people

We
           were
                         alone

Because the one person we wanted there
To share experiences with
And complain to
On the rough days
To hug
And to hold
On the good days
Was oh so far away
It's true what we said
That our love is different
Because we've survived this long and don't see it ending
But that doesn't cure the pain
Of having the one you love so far away
