We met online

I was hesitant to talk to you

I was not really good with strangers

But you were different

We started with normal things

What we liked

Then we found out we were opposite

It only meant we had a lot of stuff to talk about

You asked for my number

I didn’t give it to you easily

You worked for it

When you heard my voice, you smiled

Late night conversations

Silly calls

Unending chats

My inbox, full of your name

You were one of the generous people I knew

Every occasion, you gave me gifts

You liked to surprise me

And yet, you didn’t expect anything from me

One day, I got scared

I was confused with my feelings

I was afraid I was starting to like you

I didn’t like that

I became distant

I stopped responding to your texts

Your calls were left unanswered

I couldn’t open our chat box

You stopped reaching out to me

Maybe you grew tired

I was selfish

I didn’t even tell you the reason why

A few years later

You sent me another message

I was astonished

I thought you already forgot me

And then I saw your photo with her

I missed my chance

I took you for granted

I am sorry
