Let’s wait a while to talk, he says.
What’s a while?
Just a while, it sounds good, a while.
But I’ll be here, still here, always here.
Where?
Where I always am, he says, your heart.
Because you like me don’t you?
Yes.
Maybe you should try talking.
Silence.
He says, let’s wait a while, he says.
Let’s not talk now, maybe ever, he says.
Why?
It’s not right, you can wait.
Wait?
Wait for me, for this, for us, for nothing.
For nothing.
Say something.
Anything?
Talk to me.
Now?
I want to hear you.
Silence.
You decide what to wait for, he says.
I’ll be here, he says, waiting.
Silence.
