My phone rings and I answer it.

"Hi, baby." Charli says.

"Hi." I say.

"How do you feel?" Charli asks.

"Terrible." I say pulling the blanket up to my neck.

"Aww, baby." Charli says.

Who would have known

"Feel better." Charli says.

"Thank you." I say smiling.

That you can make love telepathically

"Get some rest and call me later." Charli says.

"But—" I say.

She hangs up and I groan.

The moon is full, my bed is empty

I stare at the empty side of my bed and sigh.

What I would do to you
If I had you in front of me, I would blow your mind

I hit the light switch and close my eyes.

Night and day, night and day

Charli's View; Time Skip

"I miss you." Y/n says.

"I can always get on a flight." I say.

You know I'm just a flight away

"It's not safe." Y/n says.

Y/n got COVID-19 about 2 months ago after she found out her dad refuses to wear a mask.

Dixie and I used to fly back to Connecticut to see her. I would sit outside her window while it was closed and we'd talk through the phone. COVID keep getting worse and it wasn't safe.

Y/n keeps getting worse every day. There's even a time when she wanted us to FaceTime when she slept because she was scared.

"I can use Addison's private jet, she won't mind." I say.

If you wanted you can take a private plane

"Charli, stay at home. I don't give a damn if I have to break with you over the phone. Stay the fuck home and don't even think about coming to Connecticut." Y/n says.

"But—" I say.

"I get that you miss me because I miss you too. I'm sitting here drifting in and out consciousness. So help me god, if you get this shit, I'm not gonna blame anyone else but myself." Y/n says.

"Watch a movie, read a book — I don't give a damn. Stay the fuck home." Y/n says.

"You should be that vocal when you give presentations in Zoom meetings." I say.

Y/n laughs and I smile.

Miles away we're connecting

"That was so cute." I say.

And you turn me on without even touching me

Y/n blushes and quickly covers her face.

You know I got a lot to say

I love Y/n — I'm in love with her. We've been dating for 4 months, about 2 months before she got COVID-19. I've just never had the guts to tell her.

I want to say it.

All these voices in the background of my brain

Maybe she feels the same way.

And they tell me everything you're thinking

"I'm gonna get some rest before the meetings later." She says.

I imagine what you've already been plotting

"Okay. I love you." I say.

Who would have known

"I love you too." She says smiling.

You could make love telepathically

That's the first time she's smiled in months. We FaceTime all the time and this is the only call she's smiled on.

I smile and she hangs up.

The moon is full, my bed is empty

I miss her so much.

What I would do to you
If I had you in front of me, I would blow your mind

I groan and put my phone down.

Night and day, night and day

If I can barely handle the distance I know she can't either. She's being trying to stay strong for the both of us since I broke down over the phone. She can't hide the pain anymore.

You know that I can see right through you
I can read your mind

I don't even feel as bad anymore. Maybe I don't have COVID-19 anymore.

I can read your mind

I unlock my phone and dial Micheal's number.

"Hey, Micheal." I say.

"Hey, how are you?" Micheal asks.

"Feeling better. Do you still give COVID-19 tests?" I ask.

"Yes." He says.

"Can you give me one?" I ask.

What you want to do?

Time Skip

I unlock the door and see Charli in the on the couch.

"Honey, I'm home." I say closing the door.

Charli looks up and widens her eyes when she sees me.

It's written all over your face times two

Charli runs to me and jumps in my arms. She pulls my mask down to kiss me and I smile.

'Cause I can read your mind
I can read your mind

"What are you doing here?" Charli asks as I put her down.

"I could that you couldn't take the distance anymore. I took 3 tests and tested negative on all of them." I say.

I can hear your thoughts like a melody

"Oh, thank God. Please never leave." She says.

I laugh and she smiles. She takes me to her room and we lay in her bed.

"Just hang up whenever I'm asleep." I say.

Listen while you talk when you're fast asleep

"I'm not hanging up on you." Charli says.

You stay on the phone just to hear me breathe
On repeat

Charli climbs on top of me and kisses me.

Who would have known
You could make love telepathically

"Whatcha doing?" I ask as she unbuckles my pants.

The moon is full, my bed is empty
What I would do to you

"I'm gonna blow your mind." She says.

If I had you in front of me, I would blow your mind
Night and day, night and day

"I love you." I say laughing.

You know I got a lot to say

"I love you too." She says.

All these voices in the background of my brain
