A simple "Hey" from an unknown number--

As soon as I recognized it, my heart was a-thunder.

I texted back, just to confirm:

"Is you you?" I reaffirmed.

He asked me if he could tell me something from deep within.

I stared sharply at the screen, my head in a tailspin.

I said yes, part of me in regret.

Not sure if I was ready to do this yet.

"I wanted you to know that I was happy with you,

"When we were in 'like' my soul was never blue.

"I'm sorry for what I did, and I apologize with all my might.

"Please forgive; give a chance second." The words aflame with fight.

I said I'd forgive you--"We'll try this friendship thing."

But I've been warned; my heart repairing on doves' wings.
