Hello

"Hello."
You didn't respond.
"Hello. Can you hear me?"
You seemed lost in your thoughts.
"Hello. What are you thinking?"
You continued to ignore me.
"Hello. Am I disturbing you?"
Your facial expression changed.
"Hello. Can I talk to you?"
You looked at me finally.
"Hello. Do you have a problem?"
You just stared at me blankly.
"Hello. I'm going to leave now!"
You smiled widely and said,
"Hi. You can go now. I don't need you!"

It's better to leave,
than to be with you.
Every day is a struggle,
like talking to a mannequin.
You might fall out of love,
I won't hate you.
I might look like a fool,
you won't be forgotten.
