when_words_on_a_screen_arent_enough
unhinged after a strong impulse to socialize came over me last night, i scrolled through my recent text messages and realized there was no one on that list that i could actually sit down with and have a meal or beer with. and that some of my best friends have always been just works on a screen (thanks to blather).


so i stayed home and texted on my phone
no eye_contact
no touch
those things that make our primate brains
grow
expand
happy

none of it

Soma I understand that it's difficult
My words are loving
But they don't caress your skin
My text is full of warm affection
But it is not the reassurance and intimacy of a hug
The touch
The feel
Confirming for you that
You_are_not_alone
That you are human and
I am too

I understand.
So thank you for waiting.
I hope the words get you by
Until that day
Even if they won't ever be enough
