Distant Signal

Caught in your frequency, I’m dialing in slow

Static in the line, but I still feel the glow

You left me buffering, lips on delay

But your touch keeps looping in my brain

⸻

We synced like signals through the night

Now I’m decoding every byte

Your silence speaks louder than sound

I keep logging in, but you’re not around

⸻

You’re a distant signal, bleeding through

Whispers wrapped in ones and twos

Under satellites, I search for signs

Your body’s gone, but I read your mind

You’re a distant signal, low and slow

Still hardwired into my soul

If love’s just code, then make it show

In the silence of the afterglow

⸻

You were the glitch that broke me in

Now I crash when I try to begin

I trace your heat in every frame

Still feel your pulse through the interface

⸻

Our firewalls couldn’t hold the heat

Now I’m hacking dreams just to meet

A version of you that still replies

To the hunger coded in my eyes

⸻

You’re a distant signal, bleeding through

A ghost in the shell I can’t undo

I reboot my heart, but still, I find

You’re rerouting through another line

You’re a distant signal, fading slow

Still stuck in my audio

If love was data, let it show

Not just disappear in radio

⸻

Send me your touch in vibration

Break through this disconnection

You’re encrypted in my skin

But I still crave the login

⸻

You’re a distant signal, bleeding through

Crossed wires and déjà vu

Under satellites, I scream your name

Even silence don’t sound the same

You’re a distant signal, you still glow

In every echo, in every show

If love’s just code, then let it flow

Through the silence in the afterglow
