Again

I’ve told Him how my day at the hospital last week went. We don’t talk anymore, He is not interested in my days, or me. He doesn’t ask, I don’t tell. But now He seemed interested, and I spoke. I told Him one part and He said: “Ok, now wait, before you say more, let me tell you about my experience…” and I listened, I asked, I smiled and nodded, but all I could think was that I did it again, I’ve been a fool again. I hoped and believed and I should have known better. Again.
