i watch the hands of the clock
tick,
tick,
tick
11:58...
11.59...
12:00.
and silence.
i wait.
with bated breath,
not knowing what exactly
i'm waiting for.
my calendar
is the first to wish me
"happy birthday!"
i wait.
i check the last texts
my friends had sent me
time-stamped
11:55 pm
surely they're awake
...right?
they surely couldn't have forgotten
...right?
i wait.
time ticks by again
slow and cruel
12.05...
12.37...
12.59...
i turn off my phone,
not knowing what
i had been waiting for.
it was my birthday.
i was so much older.
and i'd never felt more alone.
