Please Don't Call Me Maybe?

My phone used to buzz 

With a text from you

I thought we would last

The thought lasted longer than you

My phone doesn't buzz anymore 

And I'm glad 

You were never my girlfriend

Nor were you my wife 

You said you loved me 

Darling that too was false 

Now you've gone and blocked me 

I'm glad that you did 

For it taught me stuff 

Like how taking people for granted 

Is something you shouldn't do

Today I look around me 

And see a sea of faces 

The loneliness in me tries to beat me 

And sometimes when I'm on the subway

I see your face 

You were a lesson I wish

I hadn't learnt so well

Now that you're gone 

It's easier for me to realize 

You were never there to begin with

And so this is me burying the dead 

That is our non-existent relationship

Which hasn't lasted unlike my real friendships 

So walk out the door 

And spit your pity out like betel juice 

The stain on the sidewalk will fade with time 

And if you think I'm waiting for you

At the end of the subway tunnel 

You're wrong 

Now the next one is my station 

It's time to go home 

Thanks for the memories 

But they've grown as cold 

As snow

While my guitar gently weeps 

With a lullaby I'm composing 

For the ones who do care for me 

I just wish you hadn't taken up my precious time 

But then again, I was the fool not you
