Today

There are days like today

When I'm happy you don't play

A big role in my life

That the distance between us is great

And I don't talk with you

As much as I sometimes wish I could

And today, I didn't wait for your posts

I didn't feel too happy about the notification

Telling me you noticed something

I said

I didn't have to worry about bumping into you

Having to smile

Having to hide that

I was happy to see you

I didn't have to think twice about

What I said

In case you heard, or worse,

Someone else did and told you

There was none of the worrying

Wondering, smiling, talking

Today, it was almost as if

I didn't spend my time

Wondering about you

If you were reading, writing

Or listening to some song we both love

And today

You were just another person I knew

Someone I was only mildly interested in
