“In Time”

You tell me “soon”

I tell you “next month”

You say “next time”

I say “when I get back”

You don’t reach out to me

I don’t reach out to you

“Why didn’t you tell me you were in town”

“How are you doing”

Do you even want me

Do I even want you

Are we afraid

Are we non committal

Maybe we’re avoiding the loss of losing a loved one

Are we each other’s loved ones

Could that even be possible

Why did you kiss me

Why did I kiss you

Are we just wanting sex

Could we actually be lonely

Maybe we want a companion

Could we be each other’s partner

You’re scared you’ll get annoyed of me

I’m scared I’ll get annoyed with you

“Let’s make love”

“Let’s kiss”

I want you

I want you
