I should calm down
Tick.
Should I call him?

Mom says no

Him not contacting you is his way of saying no

He's just clueless
He's just busy
He has family stuff
He's moving closer soon

You are getting defensive. Stop making excuses for him
Tick.
What else can I do? I love him.
Tick.
Do you really?
Tick.

Tick.
Yes.

Than fight for him.
Tick.
But how? Hard to get, or honest openness?
Tick.
Be yourself.
Tick.
I don't know myself.
Tick.
Yes you fucking do. Tell him. How you feel.
Tick.
But mom said no.
Tick.
You are a fucking grown up.
Tick.
I'm a scared child.
Tick.
He can't hurt you unless you let him.
Tick.
I don't believe that statement. What do I do?
Tick.
Give it time.

It's been a week.
Tick.
Move on.
Tick.
I want HIM.

Boy: Hello, love.
Girl: Where were you?
Boy: Here, always. Waiting for you. Don't you trust me? How can you doubt our connection?
Girl: I don't. But it's hard to have faith in silence.
Boy: I was only silent because I was scared.
Girl: That's what I hoped.
Boy: I'm not scared anymore.
Girl: Prove it.
Boy: Marry me
Wake up. Check phone.
Hear clock tick.
Roll over and bury head in pillow, before voices start anew
