For Creative Writing, we had to write a poem about someone we had strong feelings for. I wrote this, and thought I'd share. I'd also love to read some other LDR poems, if anyone has any other ones they'd like to share.
Late Night Skype Call
He smiles for no reason
just staring at my eyes
I smile because of his
laugh, even behind the
screen
I imagine his soft palm
wrapping gently around
my face, dreaming of the day
he’d be laying beside
me
We would talk about nothing
our words float aimlessly
we didn’t have to engage
in controversial
talk
The smell of stale bed sheets
The feel of cold blankets
It embraces me like a
mother, a comforting
friend
I don’t cry, even though I
want to, missing something
I never had— maybe if
I close my eyes, he will
feel
here
