blue without you

a distinct sound brought me alive again to our world

slowly introducing every bit of your place to my half-awake eyes

roxanne, the couch, the dance floor, the ref,

the door, the skeleton, the phone, back to roxanne

i turned around and around but

communicator shows no sign of you

my spirit had gone for a nose dive

not again

the couch looked bigger as i sat down

it’s not the same when you’re not around

and though i can try the clothes endlessly in shop

why do i feel upset when you’re not online?

i waited some more, maybe you’d come

but it’s late in your place and i know you’re done

perhaps too tired from work, or too sad to log on

and i kept waiting, yawning

dang it! this has become a habit

sometimes i hate it, but most times i don’t

i like go to our world and not forget the real world

and be happy for a time, even for a very short time

this maybe just a distraction

a game, if you must

but i feel blessed having known

the person behind that uber nice avie

got up from the couch, teleported to one favorite place

greeted by butterflies and fairies

but it’s all not the same, never the same

guess i have to admit, i’m blue without you

a distinct sound brought me back to life anew

this time different, this time real

i will turn off my notebook after awhile

and start my day away, as you end your day today.
