You
Confuse me
With all these signals and shorthand
'wuu2?'

Me
In my ignorance
I can't tell you what I want to say
'143'

Then silence
Until that cursed beep startles me
I've been waiting for it
But I'm not sure now that I want it

'r u ok?'
A choking in my throat
Dare I answer?

'143'
'143'
'143'

Dial Tone.
