I send you a message

But your thoughts are blank

Message box never fills

You never say anything

I tell you how I feel

Anticipation builds

As there is no response

I stare waiting 

Waiting for you to say something

Staring, as if I can see through the phone

Android

Iphone

It’s now intense as I cannot see when he starts typing

Still nothing appears

Nervous as I am

With and away from you

I type, erase, change my words

Of what to say

Thinking of less emotional things to say

Feels like I keep typing the same thing

Never sending anything

That’s why I am waiting 

Cause he isn’t receiving anything
