'Let's hang out this weekend' I type
My thumb hovers over send
If I don't press the button,
Will you still be my friend?
2 missed calls from me on your cell
You say you're busy, I understand
If I want you to call me for once,
Is that too much to demand?
I'll smile and laugh and you'll never know
How much it hurts when you don't reply
Some people are just like that, I tell myself.
It's not enough reason to cry
I want to tell you about my day,
My troubles, my joys and everything in between
I want to know about yours too
But my messages just get left on seen
Would you notice if I don't text you?
Do you even feel my absence?
Yes we've been friends for years,
But I'm running low on patience...
I'll re arrange my plans to meet
When you show up out of the blue
And ignore the voice in my head that says
'Would they do the same for you?'
Days pass and I swallow my pride,
My thumb hovers over send
If I don't press the button
Will you still be my friend?
Sometimes it feels like you're the only one putting in the effort.
