The Woman

     The chirp. You know what that means, don't you? She wrote back. I love when she writes back. But what you don't know is, this time there is a new she. I can barely keep one eye open but I thumb out a mini-novel about my day. Checking for grammar and spelling errors before I press Send, of course. She has work at 8 a.m. that day. And so do I. But who cares? It's 3:27 and all I want to do is hear another chirp. There it goes! Her mini-novel is even longer than mine, and I wouldn't want it any other way. There's no doubt in my mind, I am into her. BIG TIME.
     All I can think about is how bad I want to kiss those lips. Wow, those lips. It's hard to focus when she talks to me. I just want to say, "shut up and kiss me." One day I will. Just not today. And don't get me started on her eyes. I would commit murder if my sentence was getting trapped in her stare.
     I want you to be all mine and I know that you want me just as bad. Now it's 5:22. What the fuck am I still doing up? As long as my phone keeps chirping, I am not closing my eyes. I'll sleep later. Is this what love feels like? No, I can't use that word. It's too soon. But if it feels right, it's never too soon for anything.
     The brightness of my mobile phone is burning my eyes. But I just can't put my phone down. Not yet. I'm not ready. I need to figure out what I am going to say next. She is too fucking witty. I'm getting too tired to think.

     "Angel can i be honest with u??"

     My heart is beating out of my chest. What in the world is she about to say?  A million possible questions are going through my head right now. But there is only one question that I really want her to ask me. This is the moment that I have been waiting for all this time. She has to know that I like her. I mean, come on. Anybody with any sense of reality can tell. Sometimes I think I am too confident though. What if she just wants to be friends. I don't need anymore friends. I want more than that. Life is too complicated sometimes.

     "Yes, I want you to always be honest with me no matter what."
