Signal

I am good at receiving a signal

Or maybe I was 

Now I am not so sure about it

I think I used to be good

To receive a signal from a person 

Who I was once deeply connected

Though she was very dexterous with her hands

She was very clumsy 

When it came to expressing herself verbally

But it worked fine

Because I could notice 

When she sent a signal

The signal described 

What she really wanted to say

Once I received

I tried to confirm the meaning of it

Then she told me

"How did you know?"

With surprise, confusion and relief all in her face

That gave me pleasure

It is quite a while ago

I had a very similar moment the other day

Thought I received a signal

Then I tried to confirm it

But it did not work out this time

I failed, I suppose

I could not get a clear answer from the person

So it is not certain that I read the wrong signal

Or the person did not even send me the signal

Conversation is the flow of a river

Once you miss the moment

You cannot go back to catch it

Sometimes the flow that is very similar to the past one comes in front of you

Then you would be able to ask the same question you missed once

But I wonder

If they would be the same as before
