I was looking at your name on my screen
I've seen it a million times
for some reason I was nervous to click [message]
scared of the perpetual feeling
that our friendship was over
when we ended talking
when we didn't give reason to our being
and why we stayed quiet but still knew
we shared the same longing emotion
and fear
to talk again
because things would be different
less comfortable
more lost
when we had laughed like young children
just months before....
And I found my answer
when you didn't respond to my message
and I didn't respond to yours
