My Girlfriend Texted I m Not Yours Stop Calling

I stared at the message longer than I should have. "I'm not yours. Stop calling." The words stayed on my screen even after everything else faded. I told myself it was anger, or stress, or something I didn't understand. But the way she slipped her phone into her pocket without looking at me felt different. I didn't question it at first. A coffee cup sat untouched between us while every silence grew louder. Not yours. Stop calling. Those words kept returning in different ways until I realized something had already changed, and neither of us was willing to say it aloud. Maybe we've all ignored a moment like that before.
