Wired

I picked up the phone
And the voice on the other end
Was yours for a moment
I could feel my whole body ease and smile
Laugh as I leaned into the sound
I knew it wasn't you when he laughed back
Yet I could feel my pulse quicken
My heart race
As I just kept pretending
Dreaming
Lapping each syllable
It was soothing to my mind and soul
Until the call ended
The bubble burst
Leaving me inwardly screaming
And reality slapped me cold
