When you wrote your (off-line) message - I was online.
In another place.
That’s why I missed you.
I miss you.
I keep wondering, what would it feel to talk to you (again).
Because I missed you.
I miss you.
I keep wondering, why did you talk to me (again).
Because I missed you.
I miss you.
I want to ask you, when did you say I would I see you.

I’m stupid because sometimes I’m wrong.
