Hullo friend, it’s been a while

I’ve been speaking but you won’t listen to me

I’ve been weeping but you won’t comfort me

I was hurt but you would not see it

So I shouted but you couldn’t hear me

I reached out for an simple embrace but you were never in that place

(I thought you weren’t interested so I changed my approach)

I asked, I spoke, I waited; but there was never a response

I joked, I laughed; but you never joined in

I asked how you spent the last 24 hours

But you wouldn’t spare me 12 seconds for a reply

(So I gave up)

I’m beginning to think there is more than just space between us

Maybe you find my style hideous or I upset you in some way

I just wanted to share times with a friend

But you were to busy, too bored, or too tired to reply

It’s 5 years (1825 days, 43,800 hours, 2,628,000 minutes, 157,680,000 seconds) too late, friend

but if you’re still interested, check your mail
