Evaders

To the gentlemen that never write back and become the ghosts of what once was, thank you

Thank you for the text messages that once upon a time brought a smile to a girl’s face 

Thank you for the beauty of the anticipation right before your call 

Not exactly sure about what went wrong and why you disappeared 

Is there even a point in asking?

Probably not because for all we may know, the problem may not even be the girl 

The problem may be the boy 

Not everyone is able to put into a simple conversation what they’re feeling 

What they’re missing and what they want 

It’s ok, it happens 

The brief moments of togetherness lead to endless ever afters thought over and over again 

Never manifested of course but still worth the while 

To the gentlemen that never write back 

Here’s to hoping that one day you stay and are more than a mirage 

One that is able to properly communicate what you want to say 

So that the ever afters may be more than a thought of what may come to be

Thank you

Done...

Her eyes kept on averting over to her phone 

The one that was kept in the dark for the past 3 hours 

Without a single notification to light it up

Not an email swoosh to let her know something new came in 

Or a beeping alert to the reply of his message 

And just like that she knew that it was over 

Without it even starting, it was done 

After a 10 minute walk, befriending her fur baby and 7 minutes of face to face talking 

It was done, just like that 

She wasn’t sure of what happened 

She wasn’t sure if it was something she said 

She wasn’t sure if it was something she didn’t say 

But after all that questioning, she knew she didn’t have the answers 

She knew who held the key, but she wasn’t going to try the lock 

Because just like that, it was done…
