A day should not feel this long.
A day is just 24 hours.
A day is just 1,440 minutes.
A day is just 86,400 seconds.
It sounds long in seconds, but how long is a second?
One Mississippi.
Not too long.

You should not feel so far.
You are just a few towns over.
You are just in Newton.
You are just 30 minutes away.
By phone, you’re only a few clicks away.
But I can’t call.
So you’re far.

I shouldn’t miss you this much.
I shouldn’t feel so strongly.
I shouldn’t.
I shouldn’t.
The more I feel, the more the fear grows.
Because with this emotion comes fear.
So much fear.

What if you don’t feel the same?
What if for you, it’s just a crush?
What if you don’t miss me like this?
What if I’m alone in feeling?
The more I think about it, the more I deny.
I don’t feel love at all.
No feeling.
