Being ghosted

My phone lights up as I receive a message, it’s not from the person I want to get a message from so I ignore it. A feeling of emptiness starts creeping into my mind, why hasn’t he texted back, why wasn’t I enough, have I said too many stupid things, am I being ghosted? I think we can all answer the last one, yes. It’s almost been a week but it’s also a hard pill to swallow - he’s just not that into you.

Why am I even into him? Is it just because he desired me, showered me with affection at first, took time for me and made me feel something I hadn’t felt in a while? Probably. But at the end of the day, we’re still strangers. He doesn’t know much about me and I don’t know much about him.

But why is it so hard to let him go? Even when we’ve never been more than just strangers who happened to text each other for a short while.

Just me, a cup of coffee, and a thought I can’t shake.

What’s yours?
