Telephone

When ever we talk I feel like we’re playing a game of

t e l e p h o n e

You say three words, I hear twenty

I say OK, you hear no, not really

Reading into every word you say

Would you say it

if you really felt it?

Is this all rehearsed?

Are you speaking from your mind or your heart?
Am I just dreaming?

What are you doing now?

I text you

but you don’t text back.

Do you just not want to deal with me right now?

Or are you trying to think of the perfect thing to say?

I think this is all way too complicated

Can we just talk

without playing

t e l e p h o n e ?
