The warmth suddenly disappeared.
She was concerned because she thought he wasn’t okay.
But instead of being grateful, he snapped at her.

He told her he’d call back and to wait.
And so she waited.
But he never did.

She cried herself to sleep.
It hurt but she tried to understand.
While he remained oblivious.

She tried to explain.
But he didn’t comprehend.
He remained cold because it didn’t matter.

She asked for an apology.
She wanted to work things out.
He ignored her.

What happened to him?
Who was this guy?
Once a man but became a boy somehow.

She wanted to scream.
She wanted to kick some sense into him.
But she held back because she still cared.

She wanted that fateful day to come.
She wanted it so bad.
She wanted to be free.

She still waits.
Her faith in him is starting to diminish.
But he remains motionless.
