A young girl confused by society waits on this one, single text.
Never knowing when the boy she loves so dearly will respond next.

A young boy confused by society waits on one, single text.
I guess he didn't get the memo yet. That because he is a male he is expected to be the bigger one in life. But in actuality he's not.

The young girl unlocks her phone- 22:14 and still he hasn't checked to see if anything is wrong. An hour goes by 23:16, and yet his silence is still so mean. It's almost dawn and she can't sleep; the vibration of her phone makes her heart beat, just an alert to wake up promptly at 07:15 tomorrow.

It is now currently 01:01 and the young boy waits for the girl to do one simple task, pick up the phone and say,"hey."

Now approaching 02:13 the young girl picks up her phone, illuminated and all. She opens her messages and types...

To my one and only:
"Hey, I was just thinking about you."

The young boy picks up his phone sleepily.
NEW MESSAGE!
From my sunshine, light, and joy:
"Hey, I was just thinking about you."

Types:
To my sunshine, light, and joy:
"I was too."

And with that both were content with knowing that they were imbedded into each others brains. With their hearts woven by the cosmos and the stars worlds apart.
