“I miss you.”
There they were- three simple little words, glowing luminescent in the center of the starkly-lit computer screen.
The darkness of the room surged up to engulf my surroundings- focus and light and life narrowing until all that was present in my perception were those three distinct little words.
Leaping from the screen they took on a life of their own, flaunting their importance with a contempt for reason and rationality.
Did I remember to breathe? Did my heart continue to beat within my chest, remaining in a place dependent on time and space that the rest of my being had somehow transcended?
The consequence of waiting so long for something to happen is that when it does, you still believe it exists only as the whisper of a hope in your dreams.
But these three trite little words had journeyed out of the land of fantasy and into my bare, cold, dark room- straining to be released from their pixelated prison and fill the space with warmth and light.
My fingers hovered over the keyboard, seemingly independent of any thought from me, as if to say, “We’re not afraid of vulnerability… of risk… of love.”
But what did they know?! I was terrified. Yet, somewhat transfixed by the glow of the computer screen, I felt my fingers flying across the keyboard.
Three beautiful little words and my world seemed transformed.
And all of a sudden, there they were again- and I found that I had added a fourth little word. The darkness of the room began retreating once again to its shadowy corners.
“I miss you too.”

absolutely beautiful
it's like i could picture myself sitting on the computer in the dark, just staring at the screen thinking that it's just my imagination, but that's actually what's on the screen. idk if that makes sense to anyone else -

Wonderful
I'm sure that many people can relate to this in some way. For me, it's how vividly you described the reaction to those small words. It's a beautiful write and has so much emotion in it. Fantastic!
