Sprawling on your bed, continuously turning around, and looking for a pillow to hug just for a call that takes forever to dial. Your fingers are probably crossed, breathing hitching every time a thought comes to mind, but what will happen if you don't make it tonight?
What will happen if you don't make it tonight...
Nevermind. It is easier if you don't overthink. What's with hearing a voice long forgotten that makes you all worked up? Scared? Conflicted? Or just worried about the fact that calling the number you blacklisted for years is now something you have memorized by heart.
Your phone is about to shut down. Reaching for the charger seems like a chore.
Hurry up...
Finally! You took the opportunity and dialed the whole thing!
You clicked the call button and waited. Nothing happened.
Another missed call. Another risk is taken.
Just like yesterday and the day before yesterday. You go through the same old anxiety-inducing event just to receive sad news. You should admire your bravery and scoff at finding love in a hopeless place.
Try again tomorrow. Hope for a better result. Someone might answer and give you a simple “hello”.
