Modern love

You’re at the other end of the line.

I won’t bother text you.

I won’t call you. 

I won’t like your post. 

I won’t say anything to you as you didn’t say anything to me. 

Waiting until you would text me. 

Waiting until you call me. 

Waiting until you like my post and watch my story. 

You wouldn’t say anything.

I would lose hope. 

But you would pop up out of nowhere and say “hey”.

I wanted to say why you didn’t talk to me before, why you don’t make plans yo see me.

But all I say back is “hi” 

I don’t ask how you are.

I don’t ask what happened. 

I left that for another day. 

I didn’t want to waste time asking why you want to talk to me now because time is precious and you take an eternity to reply. 

You don’t know how I’m feeling. 

I don’t know how you’re feeling.

We’re too afraid to get personal. 

We’re too afraid to get attached. 

We’re too afraid to say how we’re doing. 

Little did we know we felt the same way.
