Small Talk

The first hello sparked the start of a bond. (10)
Sun beams glistened gently gliding over
Your beautiful hair and accenting your
Smile of forever laughter. Soft sweet words
poured from your heart as small talks brought us here
Together in a cruel world of fate I
finally believe in fantasies and
destiny. Finding you was fulfilling.

More than hellos were exchanged as time
passed into memories we keep. Secrets
opened up to each other. Memories
of hours, minutes, seconds, all spent with
un-ending joy and love for each other.
Hearts danced and spun like a ballerina
with her man arm-in-arm forever warmed
until the song began to fade into
the distance. Slowly the bond fades away.

Letting go of hands. Letting go happy
memories - fortifying barriers
to create a small distance. Memories
forgotten. Smiles faded into the
past. Sweet talks emptied from the pitcher as
I long with great intensity of your
words. Hoping for a glance from you where our
eyes meet and lock to unlock the hidden
treasure of sealed memories in you heart.

Avoidance of warm embrace. Loss of all
contact even by emotionless devices.
Staring at the screen. Wishing. Wishing. For
a message of passion. Wishing Wishing.
For our eyes to meet again with burning
fire that has been covered up by darkness.
Wishing. Wishing. Just for a simple word.
"Hello" is all I want. Just some small talk.

Author notes

Background of this story:

2 years ago, I met this guy. I introduced myself to him at school and we became acquaintances. Not until this year we began to hang around each other.

We got into a really close friendship and I was captured by his sweet personality. He treated me such kindness I've never seen from a guy. He would text me and message me whenever he got a chance. He complimented what I wore.

I grew more and more fond of him. As I looked into a deeper relationship with him (I was planning on asking him out), he begins to ignore me. I walk by smiling at him, he would walk right past me. As our eyes meet, he would glance away.

Now... he doesn't text me or message me with sweet words.

Now... not even a "Hello" is spoken. No wave. Nothing.

Our bond started with a simple "Hello" and small talk. Our bond ended with me wanting "Hello" and small talk.

Your feelings?
