The phone is ringing. "Its not you! Its not you! Its not you!" I keep telling myself that, but a part of me is hoping that when I pick up that phone and place it to my ear I'll hear your voice on the other end. So... I run to pick it up, a million thoughts and questions racing through my head as I fumble around trying to find the phone. "What if I don't answer it in time and the answering machine picks up?" "What if its just a salesperson offering me deals on my long distance plans?" "What if it isn't even you?" "What if I don't get to the phone on time and you hang up?" I finally find the phone, catch my breath and press the "Talk" button and say "Hello" hoping I'll be hearing you saying "Hello" back to me. But instead... I don't hear your voice, but rather the silent sound of rejection in anothers. |
