I sit
back against the bed
phone in my pocket
staring at its outline
willing it to ping.
I take it out
hold it
stroke it
willing it to ping.
I flip it open
and smile as my wallpaper appears
"Believe"
believe in myself
and in you.
So I continue to sit
willing it to ping.
Minutes pass
I set my phone on the floor
flick it away
glare at it
willing it to ping.
I lay on the carpet
floor scratching my cheek
crushing my chest
I clutch the phone
willing it to ping.
I close my eyes
Have you forgotten me?
I exist, you know.
I open my eyes
feel a tear
slide down my cheek.
PING!
Two letters on the screen
"Np"
I shut my phone
smile
in spite of stress
in spite of lonliness.
We all need water to live
I need a ping to survive.

I did all of this and as I was doing it, I said the words inside my mind...
But it didn't ping after I laid on the floor. It pinged after I got up and sat down at my desk to write this poem. In the middle of the poem, I got my wish: a ping.
Yeah, our text conversations usually end with me saying "Thank you" and him saying "Np" and even if it's two simple letters, it still makes me smile.
