"The number you have dialled
Is no longer in service."
How those words
Rung in my head
When you had left;
It hurt
How it lingered
On my tongue,
The tongue that once knew
Your name; so familiar
You were that number
And you had disappeared
Appeared once in my life
To leave and never come back
You were like a soul
Wandering,
Searching,
Losing her way
You thought that
You found your light --
The light that you needed--
In me
How foolish was I?
To believe that we --
In the hopes of forever --
were something permanent
"The number you have dialled"
Those words that came from my mouth
"Is no longer in service"
Are words that are, now, out of my reach
Never to return;
Never to reappear;
Never to exist
Not once more.

"How are you?" she had asked. I answered her with the words that lingered in my mind. Because, just like you, I was no longer in reach
