                   presence                  without the effect of communication

                   became more and more distinct. Almost physical
                      I kept her profile picture next to me In                       .
                                                                         .

                   Sometimes she would rest her head on her lap
                   virtually, of course                   ,  and listened to music
                                                                                              .

                   Or just kept quiet The screen flickered
                                                        .
                   with lights as if life was still going on

                                                                       ,

                   She'll just get tired and come
                   back But she didn't come back                        .
