“We don’t talk every day anymore.
Life gets in the way. Time zones do too.
Some days pass quietly, like nothing happened at all.
But then something small reminds me of you.
A random thought, a joke I know you’d get.
And for a second, it feels like you’re right here.
It’s strange, this kind of distance.
You’re not part of my everyday life anymore… but you’re still part of me.
There’s so much I don’t get to tell you in real time, things you’d usually be the first to hear. And sometimes, I miss that more than I expect to...”
Firaq Odhni is a reminder that sometimes distance has a way of making certain people impossible to forget.
