"Hey it's Ana, I'm not here at the moment, and so please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible, bye."

Beep...

-Hello? Are you there?

Today I watched the sun as it went to rest,

Only this time you weren't there,

To think an imperfect person could ever be perfect,

But in the end was it all worth it...

-Time heals all,

But this time it didn't,

The longer I waited for you to call,

The deeper my wounds became,

Until finally it turned into an infested sore,

I've cried so much more than I thought I could...

-Hello? Are you still listening?

I've became so used to hearing your voicemail,

I've made a new best-friend,

Like everything else, it's just a means to an end,

Even though I know you will ignore this message as you do,

I still wanted you to know how much I loved you.

Bye Ana.
