In Between Replies

Sent that text with all my heart in it

Now I’m scrollin’, overthinkin’ every minute

Was it too much? Was I too raw?

Was I too late or just too flawed?

In between replies, I replay the lines

Heart talkin’ loud, silence got me blind

Maybe she’s busy, maybe she’s done

Either way, I still ain’t run

Do not disturb on, but my thoughts loud

Feelin’ like I’m shoutin’ in a quiet crowd

She said that quote, then I spoke my truth

Now I’m sittin’ in suspense like I’m missin’ proof

It’s not the wait, it’s what it makes me face

My own mistakes, my slowed-up pace

But growth ain’t instant, pain ain’t fake

If I lose her now, that’s my heart at stake
