Once More by Hanna Morozova

Hello! How are you?
Why are you silent? I want to hear your voice again… Once more time. Your deep voice, which made my heart stop. Once more…
I remember our first meeting – I fell in love with you from the first sight.
I fell in love with a feeling of safety you give me. I fell in love with your embrace and your strong muscular hands.
“Hello! How are you?” I used to hear this question every day. You always called me at 11 p.m. and we had been talking for 84 minutes. Always.  You was predictable. No, you was tender. You made me addicted. Addicted to you. I used to be loved. I used to be needed… And now I am suffering from this addiction. Now you are silent. Forever.
I am learning to live without your embrace, your hands, and your calls. I am learning to listen to this silence. But I am still dreaming… Dreaming to hear.
“Hello! How are you?” I would give everything to hear your voice at last. At last…  And then I’ll fall silent… Forever.
