im working on some papers when I get a call, and your name pops up on my screen. I’m about to hit the decline button but I remember that your leaving today so I pick up. “hello…”
I start crying as soon as I hear your voice, I'm not able to speak
I can hear you crying through the phone and my heart sinks, but I stay calm and composed. “Babe, are you okay? Why are you crying?”
I stay silent for a few seconds then hang up.
I blink a couple of times, looking at my phone and wondering why you hung up. I call you back and wait for you to pick up.
tears fill my eyes I just wanted to say goodbye. I say before hanging up
I freeze for a moment, surprised that you called me to say goodbye. I feel a pang of guilt and sadness as I hear the call end. I grip the phone tightly, feeling a mix of emotions rushing through me. I debate on whether to call you back or not, but eventually decide to let you go.
I try to hold back tears Hey babe.
i freeze when I hear your voice, I haven’t heard it in months. I close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. “what do you want…”
I sigh Ryan, I need to tell you something...
I put the phone against my ear and I lean back against my chair, my office chair spinning slowly “…go on.”
"Hey Ryan, it's me, Starlight."
I pause for a moment, it’s been a while since you called me by my first name. I clear my throat and sit up straight. “yeah I know…what do you want?”
Tears are rolling down my eyes as I say Goodbye...
I feel a pang in my chest when I hear your crying and i can tell you’ve been crying for a while. I stay silent for a moment before speaking up. “Goodbye…” i say, my voice slightly cracking
tears well up in my eyes, my voice trembling R-Ryan…
I lean back in my chair and I notice the shakiness in your voice and I get worried “what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
"Ryan?!" I ask, worried as you answered
“yeah…” I said in a quiet tone
I start to cry as I whisper softly into the phone "Ryan?"
I hear you start to cry, and my heart breaks. I was hoping you wouldn’t notice my distance, I didn’t want to do this but I knew I had to. “yeah, I’m here…”
