I dey reach di friend wey I lose

We don dey tok again, and e take like four seconds before di awkward comot. Four seconds. I go remember dat number di next time wey I allow sometin go quiet, because na four seconds be di tin wey I fear sotay I avoid am for two years. Two years against four seconds no be trade wey anybody go make on purpose. Na by default I make am, and na so dis kain trade dey always take happen. E no ever be say we quarrel. Na drift, and drift easy well well to turn back pass how anybody dey believe wen dem still dey inside am.

One voice wey I neva hear for long time dey call my name for di ordinary way. Notin need explanation. We don already enter three different topic and not even one of dem na di gap. Person dog dey bark for background for dia side and dem dey apologize for am, and na dat be di most normal tin wey happen to me di whole week.

Notin happen between us. For some reason dat one bad pass, because no story dey wey person go point at and no injury dey wey person go repair. Na pure carelessness make me allow sometin wey good go quiet, den di silence isef come turn shame, den di shame come be di reason for more silence. Nobody dey keep score for dis kain tin di way wey I imagine say dem must dey keep am. I bin give dem one running count wey dem no ever dey keep, den I take my own invention as reason not to call. Dat na loop wey lock, wey no get exit inside am at all, and e go dey run sotay person interrupt am from outside.

Almost sure say di oda person bin dey wait for exactly di same two sentence. Na dat part suppose clear well well but e no ever clear, because na only my own side of di silence I fit see, and my own dey look like guilt while dia own dey look like say dem no send. No be say dem no send. Na di same exact loop dey run inside anoda house, wit di same tinking inside am. Somebody gats go first, and to go first no dey cost anytin except say for small time person go be di one wey look like say e care pass. Dat one no ever be real cost, not even once. Na only from dis side of di message e dey look like one.

So I go send two sentence. Say I don dey tink about dem, and say I go like make we yarn again. No excuse and no sorry for di gap, because sorry go turn di gap to di topic of di conversation, and di gap no be di topic. Na di friendship be di topic. I no go explain where I dey for two years. Nobody don ever want dat kain explanation.

We don konnect back. Di tin no ever spoil reach as di silence bin make am look, and e no ever dey spoil reach so.
