Hello World

Hello world.
Are you there?
Is there someone that is you?
Sorry that I've turned away,
inside my bubble, not aware
that you outside were even there.

Sorry that I've gone astray.
Sorry that I've turned my back,
and closed the door.
I sailed away
and lost the shore,
but now I see it
one time more.

Hello world.
How are you?
Are you well or are you blue?
Did you miss me,
while I was away?
I missed you.
Should I stay?
Should I go?
Are you there?
World, hello?
