texts from a parent ive never had

hey you

ive seen youve

done some growing

i wish the world could see

have you made friends?

i bet they love you

oh you havent?

youll always have time for that

do you have a girlfriend?

thats fine, youll find the one

it can wait

be patient for love

you have a job?

im glad youve found

something meaningful

to drive out constant sound

please check in

call me sometime

you arent alone

i know how hard you try

im here for you

if you find anything troubling

youll always be my son

i love you

I always have found texting as something so impersonal...and this poem relates that effect...when a parent and child have really no heart connection at all....but one or the other or both struggle to find one.
