Tap,tap,tap
The fingers start typing
Click,click,click
The message is entered
Touch,touch,touch
The message is sent
Wait,wait,wait
The message is delivered
Bow,bow,bow
Your head falls into your hands
Beat,beat,beat
Your heart pumps rapidly
Watch,watch,watch
The pain staking typing
Read,read,read
The message you were dreading
Cry,cry,cry
It's just a message
Think,think,think
She might not mean it
Text,text,text
Make sure it's not real
Send,send,send
You're ready for the long wait again
Pray,pray,pray
Tell yourself it's not real
Skim,skim,skim
Make sure she's changed her mind
Beg,beg,beg
She's not gonna leave you
Stop,stop,stop
It's over
