It all happened so fast. One minute, everything felt normal… and the next, I was staring at his message, trying to figure out why it didn't feel the same anymore.
I had just finished breakfast when my phone buzzed again. His name.
I stared at his text longer than I used to. That was odd, I usually replied so fast, but this time I just felt exhausted in a way. Not the normal kind of tired… just off. I kept looking at it like maybe the feeling would come back, that usual small excitement I always got. But nothing came.
The excitement wasn't there. That usual rush I got whenever I saw his name… it didn't come this time. It just felt like stress. Like something I didn't want to deal with, even though I still did.
"Hey 🌚"
That's how he usually said it.
I replied after like ten minutes.
