“How did you get this number? I can’t get my head ’round you. Of course you’re not coming over,” she said. “Snap out of it. You’re not making any sense.”
There was silence for a while.
“You couldn’t be more wrong, darling,” she continued. “I never gave out these signs. You misunderstand all meaning. Snap out of it. I’m not falling for this one.”
“Do just what I tell you, and no one will get hurt,” I wanted to say. “Don’t come any closer, ’cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two.”
She spoke again. “If you think that it’s so damn easy, then what do you need me for?” Her words took an eternity to sink in. “Just look at the state of you. Babe, snap out of it. You’re not listening to this.”
“And for once, could you let me finish my sentence?” I ironically interrupted her. “Do just what I tell you and no one will get hurt.”
“Please,” I begged. “Don’t come any closer, ’cause I don’t know how long I can hold my heart in two.”
It was her turn to be silent. “Now I’ve had it up to here,” I said. “Don’t ever try that again. Why are you so quiet so suddenly? Go on, have it. You’re just dying to try me.”
So, what do we do now?
Goodnight Moon.
Maybe, someday…
