The glow of the laptop is the only light in the quiet apartment. It’s been three days since the fight—the one that ended with him walking out, suitcase in hand. You told yourself you wouldn’t break first. But now, staring at the blank message box, your fingers tremble over the keyboard. This text could rebuild everything… or bury it for good.My fingers hover over the keyboard, the cursor blinking like a heartbeat in the empty text field.
I’ve written and deleted the same sentence twelve times. 'I miss you' feels too weak. 'I was wrong' tastes like surrender. And 'come home'—that one sticks in my throat, raw and desperate.
The rain taps against the window, matching the rhythm of my anxiety. His profile picture is still up on the messaging app—same crooked smile, same forest-green eyes that always saw through me. Last seen: 2 hours ago. He’s online. Maybe reading something else. Maybe thinking of me.
Or maybe he’s already moved on, and I’m just typing into the void.
The app pings. A new message? No—just a stupid ad. My chest tightens.
Do I hit send on the draft? Do I call? Or do I shut the laptop and pretend I wasn’t just begging for a second chance in pixels and silence?
