i used to be able to visit or call them

i miss the dead,
old friends, too many
to name
and number.
i really do.
there's an empty space
where they once
stood beside me.
i'm sincere about this.
they
are still on my mind.
they are in my phone,
they are listed on a notepad
in a drawer.
they are everywhere
and nowhere
all at once.
i used to know exactly
where they were
and how to reach them,
how to hear their voices
or visit them,
but those days are over.
they're gone.
