Flowing conversation
Funny
Sounding pretty breezy
Nothing over urgent cos
I’m cool
I’ll take it easy
Insouciance or ignorance
For some reason the spark
dies
I'd barely even noticed it
Then slow replies then no
replies
Something I don’t
realise
Then slow replies then no
replies
Ask an open question
Reignite the conversation
Probably imagining
The growing hesitation
It’s your job to be
interesting
Be erudite
Be funny
Send pictures of your
purchases
She might go for your money
Thinking back, that joke
you cracked
Maybe apologise
Or clarify the context
God
Those slow replies then no
replies
sure know how to paralyse
them slow replies then no
replies
Get all hot and bothered
Red
Insane conclusions fill
the head
Her phone got nicked
Perhaps she’s dead
I check my phone
Increasing dread
Misunderstood, my tone
misread
I’m stressed I over
analyse
Them slow replies then no
replies
Those girls can sure
demoralise
With slow replies then no
replies
Send another message
try to make it unassuming
Sounding like I’m joking
When in fact I’m fucking
fuming
Stare into the hole I dug
Hoping it might swallow me
up
I see her posting pictures
With one of those hipster
art guys
You must be fucking joking,
right?
With all those maybe next
week lies
It all comes crashing down
and dies
The slow replies then no
replies
All the whens and wonder
whys
Then slow replies then no
replies
Slow replies then no
replies
Slow replies then no
replies
Wake up feeling positive
Like maybe I misread it
Worth another shot at it
Then maybe I’ll forget it
