The First Message.

I wait
For my phone to light up
The darkness;
To see that name upon the screen
Just as I see it
In my mind's eye;
Just as I see that face
In the depths
Of my dreams.
I cannot always send
The first message,
And thus
I offer my hand
Through an open invitation
To reach out to me.
I will not be strung along,
I will not be the only one to try,
Not again -
So I wait
For my phone to light up
The darkness;
For my outstretched hand
To be held.
