Glancing at your phone
Waiting for the call,
You know isn’t coming.
No matter how sure you are.
Still waiting;
Drifting off to sleep.
Trying to dream of something else,
Not of his face.
Or her voice;
Things you thought were serious.
Seem too easy to mess up.
The next day;
That dreaded eye contact.
Snapping your stare to the ground;
Wishing you hadn’t looked.
Every little thing reminds you of them.
From a girl’s laugh,
To the guy behind you in biology,
Opening your locker,
A note slips from the cracks.
“We need to talk”
Unsure you fold it up slowly.
Bracing yourself for the night ahead,
Waiting for the call;
You know is coming.

Oh, Preston, those words "We need to talk." ~ can chill one to the bone. I hope that phone call never came.

Very well-written!

You couldn't pay me to be a teen again. This made me feel all those difficult moments from long ago. Nice write!

You caught this so well, but I think it is not useless, it all makes for experience and learning. It becomes embarassing later when we think back.

Love,
Margherita
