Expectations Hurt..At Times!

She saw him online 

Her heart started racing

In futile anticipation of long distance romance! 

He probed her well-being 

And informed he was fine.

Before she could even try & steer the conversation her way 

It’s too late, talk later, said he.

She pondered for a moment

And on second thoughts, 

Nothing new, thought she.

A reluctant bye she sent, while silently hoping he would stay. 

Few minutes seemed like hours had sped by

She received a message which she checked reluctantly

It was him to her pleasant surprise.

Filled her with immeasurable glee 

For his message read, 

Unable to sleep, talk to me!
