ever notice?

We all wait for someone, it could be someone known or unknown. Each of us, at any given moment, could be waiting for a phone call, waiting for someone to be available, physically, or even emotionally. We could be waiting for them to start the best part of our day, or it could just be the interruption that we long for. Sometimes the waiting brings eager anticipation, but that can end in tears. Reactions can be so unexpected. You think one thing will be said, but it isn't. You can't let go of the words... People don't know how their words, or lack thereof, hurt. They can't see your quivering lip over the computer. They can't look at your face and see the clear liquid staining your cheeks. There is no way to know that the abruptness, that quick end of a "conversation" has chiseled a small chip out of your heart.
