You say hi,
I reply with the same energy.
You don't see the need to text me—
Me too.
I text first,
You seem dull.
I ask, "You okay?"
My friend opened up about the economy.
I shared some figures,
We laughed.
He did the same when he thought I was depressed.
You act uninterested,
I leave your next message unread.
You text months later:
"Na like that you forget me,"
I reply: "Na so we see am."
