She’s waiting… seems like it’s been twenty hours since she pressed “Send”
She looks down at her phone. No new message. All she wants is to know that you’re alive, breathing…thinking about her. Yet still, no response.
She wonders if she should re-send the previous message. Maybe it got lost somewhere in cyber space. Didn’t make its way to you.
No. Not possible. You are definitely ignoring her. But what did she do wrong? Why is it so hard for you to text back one time, letting her know that she crossed your mind just once today.
Waiting…

Waiting…


Waiting…







…No response.

&quot;I&#039;d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I&#039;m not&quot; <br /> &quot;Somewhere betweeen us talking, you saying I deserve better, and you making me laugh when I wanted to cry, I fell in love with you.&quot;

&quot;FEARLESS is not the absense of fear. It&#039;s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.&quot; Taylor Swift
