The Simplest Things

And I laugh,
because of course you are.

It's not that the joke is funny,
it's just that it's so you.

I can feel you next to me,
even though we're miles apart.

And I picture you smiling,
that quiet tilt of your mouth,
like you know something the universe forgot to tell me.

It’s nothing,
just a handful of words across a screen.

But it's everything.

You’re there.
And that’s all I need tonight.
