precious


It was getting late, time to head the sheets - stars shining brightly and the nights sky chilly. I texted him, but he didn't seem to reply. I held my cellphone in hand, with my patience running out.
Just as I was about to call it a night, my cellphone rang - a private number on display. It was him. He had called me from a public phone nearby. Which man would walk all the way to the phone booth - pride out mind, just to explain for not replying? I couldn't name any except him. Yes, he explained why he couldn't return my text, running out of credit held him back. He also said, 'maybe I just wanted to hear your voice cause' it's been such a long time since I've seen you'.
No words could explain the way I felt at that moment.

I was right, I had a hard time falling asleep.
