every time i talk to you over the phone

every time i talk to you over the phone
my hands get cold
my forehead starts to sweat
and my heart beats faster
like it's a fight-or-flight response

i've known you for two years,
but i still get butterflies when i hear your voice.

i just imagine your lips moving
producing those sounds
kissing me with those waves of noise
that come through with clicks and blips
thanks to the telephone

it sends chills down my spine.
you do it
every time i talk to you over the phone
