Night night

We text the same message to each other every night when we go to bed.
Something along the lines of:
"Night night ____, I love you, text ya tomorrow morning"

And I normally text you that first -
And no matter how tired I am, or mad, or sad, or angry. I always find myself waiting.

Every night- I wait for you to text me that back.
Normally you do.

But if you don't- if you fall asleep

I'll wait for that message until I fall asleep.
My phone still in my hand when I wake the next morning.

I still find myself waiting on you- physically responding to the familiar buzz of my phone- my heart skips a beat- every time my phone buzz that specific buzz - the heartbeat - 2 buzzed back to back

I set that a long time ago- and never changed it.
But here I am -
Still waiting for your text back...
