Through the Static on the Phone

I can hear you crying
through the static on the phone
one thousand miles away
but still evoking emotions from long ago
not the same as before
but from before, long ago
it seems
I can hear the pain I caused
through the static on the phone
thousands of days ago
I can hear you laughing
through the static on the phone
the laugh I’ve missed
one thousand times
But not in the same way
The way you miss a song
from long ago
The familiarity of it all
I can hear the joy I caused
through the static on the phone
thousands of days ago
Why does this not effect me?
Or am I dealing with it
as I did long ago?
I can hear you voice
Through the static on the phone
Thousands of miles
Thousands of days
ago and away
The voice I want to hear
But its not the same as before
Older, Wiser, Younger, Dumber
All in one
I am glad
I still get to hear that voice
