Today At Lunch
I came to see you today at lunch, sure it was for all my old friends but especially for you
It doesn’t happen often, I live an hour away from the school I would’ve gone to
And although I felt so connected to the knots re-tied from ropes I’d cut
Your looks, your touch, gave me this sinking feeling in my gut
When we text and message your words seem to flow so much more free
You tell me just how desperately you want to be face to face with me
I didn’t expect a grand parade, just about an hour to spend
With you, and those who I miss and all those who I call my friends
But when I arrived our hugs were short and sparse
Your empty gaze it couldn’t fill my heart
But lack of looks, words and touches weren’t the worst yet
What’s even worse was that you left
Off to the sports field you left to play
With people you see every day
I know it was a lot, but I still thought you’d still stay
I thought I was more important than some frisbee game
You pushed me from your arms what seemed without care
Called your girl to chat when I was right there
Apologized the whole damn while
Asked “what’s wrong” with a gentle smile
You asked “what’s wrong” but I think it’s a little obvious
That you just walked off when I travelled an hour to make time for us
So to answer what you asked, why I feel so blue
Is because today I felt so lonely when I sat beside you
