Presence in Absence
<p>Have you ever met a soul without meeting their body?</p><p><br/></p><p>That’s what 1:17am feels like.</p><p><br/></p><p>Two people.</p><p>Two cities.</p><p>One call that refuses to end.</p><p><br/></p><p>We have never stood in the same room,</p><p>never shared oxygen,</p><p>never tested the theory of eye contact.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yet somehow, your silence breathes in my space.</p><p><br/></p><p>Your laugh rearranges my furniture.</p><p>Your sigh rests on my shoulder.</p><p>Your “are you still there?” feels like fingers interlocked in the dark.</p><p><br/></p><p>No pictures.</p><p>No proof.</p><p>Just voices travelling through towers and satellites like stubborn romantics.</p><p><br/></p><p>And isn’t it strange?</p><p><br/></p><p>How someone you’ve never seen</p><p>can know exactly when your tone drops half a note.</p><p>How they can hear the smile you’re trying to hide.</p><p>How “goodnight” lingers like a forehead kiss that never happened.</p><p><strong><br/></strong></p><p><em><strong>Presence in absence.</strong></em></p><p><br/></p><p>It’s when distance loses its job.</p><p>When darkness becomes a meeting place.</p><p>When 3 hours feel like 3 minutes</p><p>and 3 minutes without them feels like withdrawal.</p><p><br/></p><p>We haven’t met.</p><p><br/></p><p>But every night,</p><p>between battery warnings and whispered confessions,</p><p>we show up.</p><p><br/></p><p>And somehow,</p><p>that feels real.</p>
