Midnight Chat With Linda

Its almost midnight and  I can’t sleep.  
So I turn on my computer and hear a message beep.

“Is anyone there?”
~ Well my friend,  now I am here.

“At times I wonder how you've been”
~ I’ve been busy. How is your world?  I hope it’s still normally spin.

“I'm not alright! my heart is empty”
~ How come? something gone crazy?

“Life has been broken. So many times!" 
~ Well..it’s human to feel that way sometimes.  

“Lost in my own bodies drought. Can you feel, what I can feel?”
~ I felt that way once.  But I’m sure your heart will surely heal.

“Love was never real!”
~ Whose love that you’re talking about?  don’t be such a denial.

“A fool wrapped in a cowardly way.” 
~ But you told me you love him. Almost every day.

“I always gave him the best of me. It’s to late to see he was not the right guy.”
~ God have reasons for making him present in your life. So please, don’t cry.

“I wish I could find the reasons now, and not wait until I die”
~ Be positive, and move on. That’s the best you should do. Try!

“Love is like fire, soon you'll get burn, or the flames will just simply turn off!”
~ I couldn’t be more agree. Still, love is a grace that we should gratified of.

“Anyways tomorrow he will still be the same poetic romantic creep!”
~ You still love him  I see. Despite the fact that he’s not worthy to keep.

“My mouth sewn shut. Shut up!”
~ My friend.. On love, you should never give up.

“Here, love is more than you'll ever understand.”
~ A bit defenseless. But, sounds mature and wiser, on the other hand.

“As I got older ~ As I grew!”
~ That’s the Linda I used to know. Glad you get through.

“There's only one way to find out!”
~ How?  What will you go about?

“I will lay myself down to sleep.”
~ Haha..and then begin to count the sheep?

“I can feel your smile”
~ As width as the Nile.

“Right now it's time to say bye!”
~ Then bye for now, my friend. Make sure you'll keep your eyes dry.

Before I went to bed. There’s another line I read.
“Today is another day” wisely, Linda said.
