Today I thought about texting you
I thought
And I thought
And thought
And so I sent a word,
The kind of word that breaks things
And starts them
And then I thought, "maybe not."
Maybe you got a new phone number
And maybe you're out of data
Because your stupid uncle used it all
Again
And I hate that I know that
I fumble
Again
Maybe this makes me selfish
Because I have thought about you
A lot
And thought
And thought
But reaching out was maybe a mistake
Or maybe not
But I want you to know that I thought
And I thought
And thought
And five minutes later
Without a response
I still thought, "or not."
