I Wanted to Text You

I felt like sending a message

And I got as far as opening up my email.

Then, continued to the icon.

In the browser dialogue box, I typed:

G-M-A-I-L dot com.

Clicked on the, little mailbox, shortcut.

Then?

I derailed.

I couldn't write, a thing.

Not a question on (how you were?)

When we'd hang.

Or the usual pleasantries, accompanied with back and forth SMS swing.

Not a thing!

We've got nothing in common, it seems.

We spent, very little time getting to know,

one another's pet peeves.

I'm just some girl.

And you feel like a stranger to me.

Ever, broken promises,

filled with lip service, reminds me of the various ways

you never did me any justice.

So I meant to text.

Really...

But I won't.
