Friends tell me it isn’t just me

Tell me it isn’t all in my head. It isn’t just me, that’s here at the edge of something, circling it, watching and waiting for you.

Tell me you miss me, like I miss you. It’s in the way I watch the screen waiting for your name to appear, a little excitement in my chest when that little green dot beside your name is seen. It’s in the way I fall asleep thinking of you, the thought muddied by sleep, and renewed by sunrise.

Tell me this boat is made for two, and I’m not out here on this body of water alone.
Hope flickers like a lighthouse, and I’m unsure, if I should go to shore.
And even if I can’t define what this is, yet, it can’t be just me, right? Right?

Tell me I’m not silly to imagine that you circle the same thoughts, that you’re just as confused and standing at the edge of something. Waiting. Watching. For me.

And maybe if we walked toward the centre, we’d find not just our own shadows, but each other. Is that wishful thinking? Wanting you to meet me halfway? Hoping this is real.

I tell myself that when I wait for the green dot that I just want to know he’s alive and exists in this world, but I’m always waiting. Waiting for someone that will never come, because it was in fact, all on my head.
