Her reply faintly reached my ear, A voice message I cannot hear. The instant pang of regret and fear, No more words she used like “dear.” My message sent to her was perceived wrong, And her reaction was indeed strong. I felt so small, I felt so weak, How can she assume wrong things so quick? I wanted to justify my wording, I wanted to tell her my intentions, But it would only make me look like someone seeking attention. The change in our scenario made me want to start to cry, She was the one with whom I wanted to try. “All those moments faded away in seconds,” I never thought she would abandon me like that. What about all those hours spent discussing pet dogs and cats? She questioned my identity, spoke of her standards, And used cursed words for me like I was among offenders. I asked a friend what should I do, He said she might have replied without having any clue. A small beam of hope arose inside, Feels like my way of looking at things just got wide. I decided to take the responsibility myself to make things clear, To step down from the tension. But previously, that sudden change in her tone Made me fiercely shut down my phone.
