Pause
Slowly my name escaped from her lips with hesitation following, and before she could let go of the truth in her words she grabbed them back and said
Goodnight
I stayed up all night wondering what she did not say and why
Opening my eyes only to recognize I was never asleep
She said “umm we need to talk”
Press play on my heart and watch it sink to my feet
p.s. I dread all conversation pauses…
