Unsent Messages

I wait for your messages all day. Whenever they do come I answer immediately and think that your going to do the same. You wait at least 15 minutes before I get a reply. And the reply is always dry. No words, just a picture. Sometimes even a ceiling. We used to have it all. Share everything with each other. You were the only one I would cry to and feel safe with. You were my person and I understand that your not anymore. But when you said we should talk more often I believed that you would try to. But it’s just me. Me sending the texts. Me waiting for the reply. You get to go thrive in another country. I’m the one who has to sit here. But then I think. If we had both left the country. Both been taking our gap year. Both been the same age. Would we still have it all? Would there still be an us? Would we still communicate like we used to?
