SPOKENWORD POETRY

hello no one is available to take your call please leave a message after the tone

hey it's a it's me I just wanted to say , that I miss you got to thinking yesterday I ran across one of our old pictures I almost tried to call obviously it didn't so now I'm just leaving this voicemail still full of questions and I'm not really quite sure if I'll have enough time to ask them but to ever wonder about me like the way I wonder about you I wonder if you're alright cuz the last time we spoke you didn't seem alright but does not my place anymore so I can't ask do you even think about what happened and wondering where we would be if it.

didn't I do but that probably makes me sound really crazy because I should just let you go right I should just drop everything I know about you or pretend hat we never even happened, pretend I didn't approach you and try to build a bond that I know I messed up but I can't pretend that it didn't happen I saw so much going for you you know so much positivity even though you never failed to push me back down I'm not blaming you though and of course like every other voice malpractice in my head this isn't coming out the way that I wanted it to but I just want to know did you actually care about me or was it really just cooking like you befriended me and then it actually became legit and things both went wrong with our own lives and then you guys stuck with me and then you just decided you didn't even or needed a reason you needed a reason to hate me so you could shut me out then I would be trying to call you right that's what it was right because I meant literally nothing to you and if that's not true then show me how

it's not true because something like what we had doesn't just crash and burn after somebody's mistake we're supposed to grow and you never let me grow and you're afraid to let that show are you you're afraid for everyone to know that you were the bad one it wasn't just me but it's okay because one day along we'll just have to wait and see won't we ,after a month and a half I found myself calling memory and I never wanted that because I wanted us to last you know I wanted our future but you just didn't want that but I guess I understand and you can call me back if you the number should pop up and your missed call long

bye
