Goodbye
The ringing of my cell phone breaks the silence of the room.
My heart races and anxiety washes over me.
I answer and hear your breathing.
A simple “hello” soothes the turmoil haunting my thoughts.
In that call, a glimmer of hope remains.
Your voice pierces through time and mistrust.
The static between sentences is distant.
Cruel.
But for a fleeting moment, your world is my paradise.
The connection is lost.
Ah, all that remains is the sound and echo of an unforgettable love, muffled by the sound of your “goodbye.”
