Anticipation
Do you ever just freeze?
Being left on open for just three minutes has me crazy.
It's like a timer is going off in my head.
Does he really like me?
Or is it all pretend?
Do you ever just cry?
Thinking, "oh yeah, it's probably just me." so you say "Goodnight..."
Hoping that maybe he'll see the dots and ask you
"What's wrong?"
But he doesn't.
He leaves you on seen
He tosses out your streak
53 days.
Fifty three days of late nights
Of staying up til six in the morning.
Eating cheeto's and watching anime through his phone.
All of that.
Gone.
Is it a sin? I sit here waiting for him to respond. Like i did something wrong.
My anxiety is eating at me. My tears flow in streams now.
Was it all a joke?
My throat closes and my eyes burn now.
I just want to scream.
Then it shows he's typing. Maybe he had to do dishes!?
But the second he hits send and you open it,
all it says is....
"K."
