remind me

i ask you 
every night
what you do 
without me

and as you tell me
what you think
are the boring details

i picture you
working 
walking
writing

planning out your 
next move

and the next

the imaginations
makes this damn distance
shorter

this dark night brighter

and this dull hope
vibrant
in what could be

once this sickness
is through

and life begins again

so babble on, sweet one
in short words and long

don't worry about making
things fancy

just remind me of the you
you cover inside

surround me with what
makes you free

(be)
