I said, “Let me know when you're free”
You sent a meme instead of me
I laughed it off, but checked again
The space between began to bend
You didn’t answer my last line
Just let it hang there, undefined
And every time I type “you good?”
I know I’m doing what I should
I typed, erased, then typed again
But silence isn’t just a trend
You ghost in ways that look polite
You shine online, then drop from sight
And in that gap where words should be
I talk to screens that don’t talk me
