It’s been a while
Since I’ve heard
Your soft voice mumble
over the phone, in my ear
almost as long 
as our time spent wondering
if we belong 
or can’t be near.

your big day is coming,
you might think means nothing,
but you’re becoming more you
and that’s worth celebrating.
I wish I could be there,
by your side to hug -
it’s okay I know,
you’ll be surrounded by love.
if not physical then mental,
you can know it’s there -
as if I allow myself to do anything
it’s give you space
but my heart in share.
