I’d like to one day 
see you, sit down in one 
place and have coffee with you. 
We don’t really need to talk.
We can sit quietly and be together
without needing to talk to 
each other. How it must be like 
to be with you in silence

Right now we always need to talk,
& you know I’m not a talkative 
person. I have to always SMS or send 
I love you’s through chat messages. 
I have to grow accustomed to 
conversations until 4 am,
or to sleeping with Viber on, with you 
on the other end breathing, 
snoring even. 

But there are other
ways--like I could say I love you
by just kissing the tip of your nose
or running my fingers through 
your long, soft hair 
while you’re sleeping.

Your voice on Viber comforts me.
Still, I wonder what happens 
if we lose our voices or 
if we run out of topics, and 
there is no reason to talk anymore.
How would you even know I exist?
