Listen to poem:

Home Alone

miles away
and thinking of you
a phone call away
yet I can’t reach you

it’s ironic, no?
even when we’re together
we never seem to connect just right

I like it slow and easy, and
you want it all or nothing

meanwhile that field of distance
day by day night by night
seems to only widen

Nice one. Golden Earring comes to my. 'Radar Love', but the radar seems to be off. Reconnections are available at a small cost, but sometimes it is better to change the network provider...
