The room is dark around me. The muted tv flickers the only real light into the room while my clock becomes a metronome.
*Tick*
Its not a sad scene. Im just waiting for a text. One that will set me into night.
*Tick*
My brain starts to explore my thoughts. Images flash through and smile begins to form.
*Tick*
I thought about the time we went fishing and I lost my rod only to catch it on yours fish still attached.
*Tick*
The look on your face when I told you that I loved you.
*Tick*
I thought about everything I had to do. Get a new job, move to a new city, be who you need me to be.
*Tick*
I thought about our future. How our wedding would be. How many kids we\'d have. How ready I am to spend the rest of my life with you.
*Tick*
I thought about that night. When you told me you didn\'t love me. When all my ideas shattered
*Tick*
When I broke down in the shower after. Feeling lost as if getting reset back to square one.
*Tick*
I gave everything I had to you, but it never turns out like the movies
*Tick*
I loved you with everything I had
*Tick*
I still do
*buzz*
My phone lights up and snaps me from my thoughts. I read the name and smile
*Tick*
It isn\'t you, but I think that\'s the point
