Maybe it’s your attention span.
I knew that someone else must have been in touch with you.
You stopped calling, the texts diminished.
The time we arranged to meet
And for three hours
I sat waiting
Because -
Just in case you did bother.
There’s no reasons why you shouldn’t do those things,
Just because it hurts me it doesn’t make it wrong.
I have no say over that stuff, no matter how hard I wish that I did.
I want to write about things that I can’t really work out how to describe.
