Blue ticks,
A developing distaste for your (once) favourite show,
An unpinned chat,
A backspaced tag,
A deleted photo.
Finding out about their lives through social media,
And then thinking twice before messaging them a
“Congratulations!”
Not being the one they’d call, sobbing,
To hear you laugh and say,
“What a loser”, or
“Everything sucks, but here’s some ice-cream”
But,
Knowing that their number hasn’t changed,
And that they’re in the same time-zone:
Awake,
Asleep.
Online.
