I can hear a television
in another apartment
vomiting mindless bullshit.
I can hear the cars outside.
The dimming white light
through my blinds
distracts me.
I am alone.
No phone calls
no text messages.
I am aware
of my breath
and my heartbeat.
All I wish is to be with him.
And away from my solitude
and the white noise
that fills up the air.
