“I Wish I Could Talk, But The Line is Engaged”

I was trying to reach someone on the phone today, but all I got was that ever-so-familiar response of “the line is engaged”. All I wanted to do was share the latest news, hear what was happening in their lives, and perhaps a friendly chat to pass the time. But instead, the line is engaged and I am now left in limbo, not knowing what’s happening and unable to communicate with my loved one.

The frustration that came with it left me reflecting on my own life, and how I could have made more time for our relationship. So much of my life has been lived in such a fast-paced manner, running from place to place and always doing the next thing. But all I want right now is a pause, a moment to hear their voice, to catch up on all the news.

I don’t know when or if I will ever get to hear from them, and it can be a bit unsettling. Life doesn’t always go as planned and that’s ok, but I find myself wishing I could have one more chance to tell them how I feel, how I truly feel. I know life moves on and so must we, but I wish I could pick up the phone and simply talk, like old times.

Ah, well, the line is still engaged and my attempts to call again remain fruitless. I guess all I can do is stay positive and trust that in the end, everything will work out just fine. Until then, I will keep on trying, hoping that I can soon reach the one I am looking for and share with them all that I have to say.
