Will I let hope win?

Last night's text lighting up my screen makes me check my phone again, and then another time.

"I"

I don't know what it's supposed to mean, that one letter boggling my mind. But that one text somewhat calmed my heart, after such a long time lapse of communication.

Somewhat, because despair reared it's ugly head and stirred up unrest inside me anew; just a letter?

An 'I'?

An unfinished text?

A mistake?

Does he not wish to talk to me anymore?

Talking with Mother and Father made me think that maybe it really was a lost cause. If a year of no communication isn't a sign enough, then what will teach me to get over him? Pining over memories of him? Really?

Father said I ought to pay more attention in learning the mechanisms of working in our business. But business is a far stretch away from the things in my mind.

Krishna...

But the absence of contact doesn't let me give up, it nudges my conscience and pleads to it to try again, to find out what's wrong.

Because something is very wrong.
