Alone

I'm sitting alone
Next to my phone.
I put it on vibrate
And I wait
For a text from you
Because I need to.
Time seems forever.
Give up? Never.
Just a minute.
You'll get it.
You'll reply,
I'll sigh
In relief.
But good grief!
It's been hours.
They become days.

I can't believe you haven't texted back.
It's been a week.
Maybe I'll try to again establish contact.
But I'm not a creep.

I must try.
Else, I'll cry.
Just a quick text.
What next?

I wait again.
