Your name. The dot glows green beside it, and I admire the shape of the letters. The height of the capital, and the letters making shapes beside it. Curve, straight. Straight, curve.
I stared at the dot, and the tiny picture next to it. I love to look at that name...that dot...that picture. I clicked the screen randomly, and the dot disappears. The smile on my face fades away. You're gone again. Disappointment clouds my eyes.
Tonight is different. Your dot doesn't leave. I don't know what makes you stay, but you do. And I love staring at your name. Your picture. Your dot. I love you. I click the chat window, and stare at the blinking cursor. I love the potential of that cursor. Things that could be said, felt, shared. But they never will be. I close the box, and shut the computer. Another night. Without you.
You're going away. I won't see the dot on my computer screen for at least a week and a day. You've already been gone. I'll miss the comfort of that dot, the comfort I gather thinking of you sitting in front of a computer screen just like I am.
Perhaps it is the only thing we have in common. We do not seem to be very alike. But, it is as they say, "opposites attract." Right? I wish I knew what the future held for you and I. Would there be a you and I? Perhaps there would just be a you and someone else.
A chat window pops up on my screen. I click on it, curiousity playing in my mind. Unconsciously, I gasp. It's your dot. Your name. Your picture. Could it be? Am I dreaming? Is that really you saying hello?
I sit up in bed, shivering with cold, and my face wet with almost dry tears. I hate the dreams of the dot. It haunts me, knowing that nothing could ever come of this...fascination. This beautiful addiction. Because you're not mine. The dot won, but you never knew there was a fight.
The dot knows so much more than I.
There is a you and someone else.
"Just get over him, Caitlyn."
A/N: Just some Caitlyn drabble. I know who I pictured with her while writing this, but I'd like to hear who you thought it was.
Review and let me know what you think!
