We only had weeks, but the miles stretched like years

your voice in my headphones, chasing away my fears.

Daily voice calls and endless game worlds we'd roam

exploring pixel frontiers, surviving as a team, never alone.

I told you about the stars I chase, the books I hide

You laughed at my bad jokes through the mic, no lag could divide.

Side by side in those digital realms, we built and we fought

You became the map I read, now the servers go quiet, and I'm left in this empty spot.

The house is too quiet, the headset hums too loud

My mind starts its engine, racing through the cloud.

Missing you, my thoughts have gone haywire

Dreams replay every raid, every quest, every fire.

We're stepping out of the game into a life with no more distance

Coming home to each other, keys turning in real locks, no resistance.

Everything we discussed twists into the night

Laughter turns to echoes as the past ignites.

Childhood wounds I buried under twenty years of stone

Claw their way back up through these voice lines I call home.

Oh, in your absence, the subconscious runs wild

Dreaming us together, no miles left to fight, but the reality makes it feel so far-fetched, my child.

Last night we were laughing in that dungeon we loved

Back-to-back surviving waves, calling out every shove.

Then the scene shifted—we log off, and suddenly there's a door

I'm coming home to you after a long day, no servers anymore.

Your voice overlays the old screams through the same call that dropped,

But now we're in a kitchen, real hands on real pots.

We talked about forgiveness while looting that chest in the rain

Now in the dream you're holding me as the thunder brings the pain

Safe strategies we planned turn into the words I never said

The ones that locked the door on the little girl who bled.

But when I wake, the controller's cold, the lobby's blank and still

And every teamed-up promise feels like a future unfulfilled.

I thought I'd sealed them tight, those drawers in my mind

Childhood trauma wrapped in ribbons, labeled Do Not Find.

But your silence cracked the lock across a thousand miles of wire

Let the river overflow through these fragile voice-and-game fires.

Every late-night raid became a lantern in the snow

Lighting up the places I swore I'd never go again.

How can something so virtual—two voices in the night

Paint a life together, coming home each night, when we've never stood in the same light?

How can missing you unearth what I buried in the ground

When the dreams show us waking up tangled, no distance around

Yet the map between us laughs and says it's all just servers and death?

Missing you, my thoughts have gone haywire

Dreams replay every raid, every quest, every fire.

We're stepping out of the game into a life with no more distance

Coming home to each other, keys turning in real locks, no resistance.

Conversations we shared in those endless worlds bleed into the ache I hid so well,

Your steady voice pulls the thread that unravels all of hell.

Childhood wounds I swore were gone rise up and call my name

In the quiet after midnight, they don't feel like shame.

They feel like truth they feel like you

But the distance screams it's all too far-fetched, too new.

Come back soon, or stay gone, I don't know which is worse

Your voice was the anchor in our endless game and curse.

But even in the haywire, even when the past breaks through

I'm grateful for the man who made the buried feel brand new

Two voices, one team, dreaming us home across the blue.

I'm still here still missing you

Still dreaming us whole in a life that feels so true.
