Voice-mail #4 (2015)

I don’t, uh.

I guess I should start with a hi or something.

We haven’t spoken in years,
but last I heard you were a manager for Barnes and Noble,
I hope that worked out for you. One way or another,

                                   at least.

So,

            really,

this needs to be an apology.
A lot of these calls are apologies.
I don’t.

I’m sorry.

No.

I mean, I am, but I’m apologizing about my voice.

Having trouble.

Sorry.

I shouldn’t have called.

Point,
point is,
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry that I really believed I loved you when we both knew in the back of our minds it wouldn’t last. We were young and you were the first passion I ever felt, but I still.

I should.

I should have known better.

I didn’t mean to convince you.

                                    your couch is still my most romantic memory.

I should go.
