A day later he sat
On his first break
Anticipating the call that would come later
She had sounded rushed
When he called yesterday
So they had set up a time for later
Today
Was the result
Of schedules that didn’t seem to match
Making him wonder IF
they’d actually have that conversation
her voice was as he heard
Filled with reservations
Would he get that face to face
He was going to talk her into
That’s what he planned for this
Conversations
In the past
That went for too long
Never went too well
A whisper of the wrong phrase
And it all went to
Hell
He remembered the reason
They hadn’t spoken for so long
Was what he had said
Been so wrong
That time all he had heard
Was the *click*
No song
Could have drowned out
The sound of the silence
Was heavy enough
But then the lack of closure
Just made it too tough
Rough
Were the edges that
Shaded his thoughts today
May-be
This wasn’t the
Best of ideas
May-be
He should text her
Call
It off
But then he had a couple
Hours
And his nervousness
He’d probably walk it off
