Next time

I’ll be better

I’ll do better

Than the average

You received

Than the desperation

I felt

To get your attention

Than the pressure

I felt

Waiting for your calls

Than the hope

I felt

Hearing your words

When the “i miss you” stopped

So did your want

To share a moment

A blink in time

To be together

In person and in thought

To challenge each other

To be better

It’s the signs that I skip by,

Hoping the flags aren’t real

That prove time and time

To be obvious
