Still no message

Looking longingly at the screen

Wondering why you have not messaged me

Will you message me, if not, why not

Have I upset you, do you no longer want me

Still no message

I try to distract my mind

There must be something else I can do

Could turn off the phone, no

I might miss it

Still no message

Should I message you, should I go first

Would I appear desperate, would you even respond

My mind is full of doubt

My phone vibrates and I hear the jingle

I feel the vibration through the desk

A message at last, but not from you

What should I do?

Still no message

It has been days now, my heart has a heaviness to it

My mood is sombre, I need that contact

I need, no desire to see your words

To know you are still thinking of me

A message at last

It is jovial and hints at future promises

Do I respond immediately, do I wait

What if I get it wrong

I wait, I think, I worry, I respond

I look longingly at the screen

Still no message
