11:59

 

Just a minute more, My heart echoed. 

Fingers desperately waiting, all locked up

Eyes were stuck on the open chat reading online

My Consciousness kept rereading the text

Should I be this tensed? 

Why does 60 seconds feels so long

I was thinking too hard, with no real reason. 

The phone shivers, a call ringing out long

My eyes rush to the clock still stuck in 11:59

As my fingers ignore the call, stuck on the chat

Shit, 

The text is too big, I could have called. 

Why didn't I call? 

Should I call? 

Why would I call? 

My heart stopped as the clock stuck 12:00

It was all calm now. 

Just happy birthday will do, 

I deleted everything keeping just those

I just couldn't send, frozen there. 

I could see her online went off. 

It did make me smile. 

Maybe next year, 

It's been three years anyway.
