my phone goes off
it was a missed call from you
excitement rushes through my body

I run to my phone
the charger keeps me from answering
I pick up

hello? hello?
silence
I realize my time to answer was over

I dial your number quickly
my thoughts moved so fast
I called someone else

I breathe and slowly dial your number
hey sorry my phone was charging
did you need something?

time goes by and finally, you speak
" sorry I didn't mean to call"
my heart shatters

oh okay not a problem
have a good night
your parting words "okay bye"

I sigh
I take my phone
and let it continue charging
