I Don't Need To Take Much Of Your Time

September 03, 2020

We don't need to be always together

We don't need to talk all the time

Although that would be nice

We don't need to message each other all the time

We don't need to be happy all the time

Although that sounds nice

Cause you and I

We can't afford the romance that they are selling to us

That kind that we see in movies, in fairy tales, in poems...

Cause you and I

Are real people, who don't have all the time, who feel tired

From the struggles of wanting to survive

We can't afford the sparkly, shiny romance

That promises to taste sweet all the time

What we can afford, however

Is friendship that understands--

That I am here,

And you are there.

And on precious moments, we can afford

We can meet and talk

I don't need to take much of your time

But I am happy to be a part of your rest stops when you pause.
