I'll wait on you
Hours on end
Just to maybe
Get a reply
I'll wait because I think
Maybe you could help me
Because I'm lonely and sad
And I want someone to reassure me
I'll wait because I have nothing better to do
Nothing that will change anything
I'll wait because
I want to talk to you
Just a few little message bubbles
Might be what I get
But then at least
I'll be closer to the idea of normalcy
Always connected
Always distracted by a thousand things on that magic little device
Called a phone
Because of so much that makes you feel okay on there
I'll wait
And I won't really expect to hear back from you
Because I've already accepted
That maybe
I have no one to talk to
And no one wants to
Say a word
To me
You're offline now?
Sure, it's fine
Not really
I couldn't-
Our lives don't overlap anymore like they used to
I couldn't try to talk to you the way I did before
Something's changed
Maybe now you're online
For a second
Then you're gone
And I wish
I could see you again
The way it used to be
But that's-
That's gone
Now
I just
Say things
And you either see or care or
You don't
But you know I'll wait
I'll stay hopeful
Because it's all I could ever do
I'll wait
Just in case
You want to extend an offer
Of friendship again
