Dread
It scares you. You see it as a danger. A threat. Even if in your head you know it isn't. It becomes a big deal. You worry. You're anxious. You're checking your phone. Repeatedly. Even if your notifications are on and you're right next to it. Every noise excites you. It startles you. It fills you with hope. Yet dread quickly replaces it. You tell yourself to be realistic. Yet your heart isn't in sync. Will this be the message? Will this be the call? I didn’t want to hurt you at all.
