Text Message Fun Conclusion

I like you

And that is when a gray and black cellular phone went flying to the floor,
jumping on the ceramic tile and sliding under my bedroom door,
sliding away from my shaking hands 
so I may not answer back with another not quite drunken kiss.

Not answer back with a what or a really?
Answer back with no true sentiment for I am puzzled right now.

What do I punch in now?

What connection will my fingertips feel from the rubber or plastic from these buttons.

I like you 
I like you
But I was feeling love

Love
I love
I love you

Truly I am not ready to fulfill such words now that I thought it over
Well...
like after a while with right measurement turns to love
love with the right happenings turns to more
and more is always infinite as long that there is love.

Send.

Still no reply.

O I've done it now 
I have destroyed everything with three consonant, vowel mixed words
Now I wish my cell was an envelope

A rhythm
A movement in my pocket
A vibration in my denim jean!
A REPLY!

I open my flip phone

I like you too; smiley face
